6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using a 2mm x 8mm
self-tapping screw and a #1 Phillips screwdriver
to prepare and harden the holes for the pushrod
support assembly. Allow the CA to soak into the
wood for a minute, then apply CA accelerator
to make sure the CA has fully cured before
proceeding as the supports will need to be moved
slightly when installing the fan assembly.
7. Assemble the pushrod support using a pushrod
support base and the L1 and L2 support standoffs.
Note the position of the base in relationship to
the standoffs. L2 will be on the side of the base
that is closer to the mounting hole. They must be
positioned correctly so the pushrod aligns with the
elevator servo.
8. Slide the supports on the elevator pushrod
tube. Secure the support assembly in the fuselage
using two 2mm x 8mm self-tapping screws and
a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Use a hobby knife and
#11 blade to trim the pushrod tube as close to the
forward support as possible.
9. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to trim two
1/4-inch (6mm) pieces from the silicone tubing.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
10. Slide the piece of silicone tubing on a metal
clevis. Thread a 2mm nut then the clevis on one
end of a 16
