17. Place the tailwheel wire in the proper position, aligned with the rudder
and lock into place with the 2 set screws.
18. Attach two Extreme Flight 18" 28 AWG servo extensions to the servo
leads and secure with heat shrink tubing or tape. Use the hardware provided
with the servos to install the rudder and elevator servos in their respective
location in the rear of the aircraft. From the pilot's perspective the rudder
servo mounts on the right side of the fuselage and the elevator servo mounts
on the left side. Both servos should have the output shaft oriented toward the
front of the aircraft.
19. The rudder and elevator servo linkages assemble and are installed just
like the aileron linkage. For maximum elevator and rudder travel we have
included two G10 control horns which are bolted to the stock servo arm
provided with the servo. We have found it easiest to tack glue the G10 arm to
the nylon arm and then using the holes in the nylon arm as a guide, drill
through the composite arm. Secure the arm with a small bolt and nut. The
remaining portion of the linkage installation is the same as the other control
surfaces
.
Alternately you can use the Extreme Flight lightweight electric servo
arm for the rudder servo, however there is not enough room below the bottom
of the stab to use this arm for the elevator.
