9. Prepare a second servo horn for the rudder
servo following steps 5 through 7. You will also
need to drill and second hole in the horn to install
the connector for the nose gear steering.
10. Use a hobby knife to remove the ribs on the
bottom of the servo horn. This is necessary so
the micro pushrod connector backplate rests flush
against the horn.
11. Insert the micro pushrod connector in the hole
drilled in Step 9. The connector will be on the top
side of the servo horn.
12. Slide a micro pushrod connector backplate on
the pushrod connector. Use pliers to fully seat the
backplate in position.
13. The servo horn can now be installed on the
rudder servo. Make sure to slide the rudder and
nose gear pushrod wires through the holes in
the micro pushrod connectors when installing the
servo horn. Temporarily install the 2mm x 3mm
machine screw in the pushrod connectors. These
will be tightened down later in the manual. You
may install the servo horn screw at this time using
a #0 Phillips screwdriver.
