Rudder Pushrod - You can now install the rudder pushrod just like you did the elevator pushrod. Trim the two composite supports

so that the pushrod runs straight, then glue in place. The 1” zee-bend goes into the smallest hole of the linear servo, the 5/8"

zee-bend goes in the innermost hole of the rudder horn. Make sure the servo and rudder are centered, and shrink the connection.
