Close the gap to the desired position. Flex the rudder
slightly and apply a few drops of thin CA glue the bottom
hinge. Again move the rudder back and forth to check its
position. Once the end hinges are securely positioned
you can apply a few drops of thin CA glue to both sides of
the center hinge.
Connect the servo to a receiver and power supply. Turn
on your transmitter. 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.
Install the rudder servo into the fuselage and pre-drill for
servo mounting screws using a 1/16” drill. Install the
servo with the wood screws that came with your servos.
Remove the screws and servo. Apply a drop of thin CA
glue into each mounting screw hole. This will harden the
wood around the screws and provide a more secure
installation. (Allow the CA glue to dry before reinstalling
the servo.)
Tread the brass cable eyes about half way into the ball
links.
Start the cable assembly at the servo end inside the
fuselage. Thread on 2 crush sleeves and the brass cable
eye.
Loop around the cable eye and go back through a crush
sleeve.
Loop around the crush sleeve and back through the
sleeve again. Slide the second sleeve over the tail.
Adjust the loops and crimp the sleeves with the non-
serrated surface of standard plyers.
