8. Slide the pushrod connector onto the pushrod
wire at this time. The connector can’t be installed
after the wire has been bent to fit into the control
horn so it must be positioned at this time.
9. With the aileron servo centered and the radio
system on, use a felt-tipped pen to mark the wire
where it crosses the hole of the control horn as shown.
10. Use pliers to make a 90-degree bend in the
pushrod wire. The bend must be angled to fit into
the control horn.
11. Use side cutters to trim the wire 1/4-inch
(6mm) from the bend as shown.
12. Insert the pushrod wire into the hole of the
control horn that is two holes up from the control
surface as shown.
13. Use pliers to open the pushrod keeper just
enough to slip it over the bend of the pushrod
wire so it secures the pushrod wire to the control
horn. Don’t open the connector too far as it could
possibly break the connector.
