1. Use medium CA to glue the air intake to the bottom of
the fuselage. Make sure not to glue the intake to the cowl.
Note
: Your intake scoop will differ slightly from the one
pictured above. It will be black in color as well, not white
as depicted in the photo. These changes were made to
ensure the accuracy of the full scale Pitts model 12 was
maintained.
2. Install the pushrod connector in the bottom control
horn. The screw will face toward the wing tip.
3. Thread a clevis on the pushrod wire. Connect the clevis
to the control horn of the top wing. With both ailerons
centered, tighten the screw to secure the pushrod to the
pushrod connector.
