Assemble the connection rod to a servo ball link with
the flange. Then connect the connection rod to the
control rod ball link. Make note that one end is a left
hand thread and the other is a right hand thread. Screw
the connection rod into each ball link equally.
Check the length of the assembly with the servo to
estimate the length. When you get close to the correct
length connect the flanged ball link to the servo arm
with a washer and socket head screw. (Always adjust
the connecting rod length with the servo powered up
and centered.)
At this point the aileron my not be aligned with the
wing.
Adjust the connecting rod to align the aileron and the
wing. Because of the left and right threads on the
connecting rod the length of the rod can be adjusted
without disconnecting it from the servo or the control
horn.
Elevator Assembly
As with the aileron servos connect to a receiver and
power supply. Turn on your transmitter and set trim
and sub trim to zero. Install a servo arm on the servo
about perpendicular to the servo’s side. Use the
transmitter’s sub trim to make it exactly perpendicular
to the side of the servo. Be sure to setup one arm to
the left and one arm to the right. Do not tighten the
servo arm screw.
