  14. Use side cutters to trim the pushrod wire 1/16-

inch (1.5mm) from the pushrod keeper.



  15. Slide the pushrod wire into the tube in 

the fuselage. With the rudder servo centered, 

secure the servo horn to the servo using the 

screw provided with the servo and a #1 Phillips 

screwdriver.



  16. Thread the nut and clevis on the pushrod wire. 

Connect the clevis to the rudder control horn and 

check that the rudder is centered. If not, thread the 

clevis in or out until the rudder is centered. Use 

pliers to tighten the nut against the clevis to prevent 

it from moving. Slide silicone keeper over the clevis.

  17 Repeat Steps 1 through 16 to connect 

the elevator pushrod wire. The positions and 

measurements for the elevator connections are the 

same as the rudder.
