RV-8 70cc FLS Instructions

Quique’s Tip:
You may find that the servo arm for pull-pull does not fit close to perpendicular to the servo case.
Since the RV-8 70cc FLS does not require a servo arm with an offset for pull-pull, try rotating the arm
180º to see if it fits closer to perpendicular when mounted in this orientation.

Locate the pull-pull cable exit holes in the rear of the fuselage. Use a hobby knife with a
#11 blade to remove the covering from the hole. The plastic tube guide is located
approximately 5-1/4-inches (130mm) from the rudder hinge line (see picture above). The
tube should run perpendicular to the rudder hinge line. With the canopy removed and
looking from the cockpit towards the tail you will see the nylon tube guides for the
cables.

5.
Using pliers, thread a rigging coupler approximately halfway into a ball link. Take a
section of pull-pull cable and route it through a small piece of heat shrink tubing,
followed by a cable crimp. Then route the cable through the rigging coupler and back
through the crimp. For extra security, you can loop the cable around the crimp a final
time. Slide the crimp tight against the coupler and use a crimping tool to permanently
attach the cable. Apply a small amount of thin CA to aid in securing the cable and crimp.
Once secure, slide the heat shrink tubing back over the cable and crimp, and shrink it in
place. The shrink tubing is only used to keep the cables looking neat and prevent the wire
from snagging on any objects. Repeat this process for the second cable side.
