Thread a rigging coupler approximately one-third of the way into your final two ball links.
Secure the ball link and rigging coupler assembly to each side of the rudder servo arm.
The order of hardware is as follows:
o
M3x15 Socket Head Cap Screw
o
M3 Washer
o
Ball Link (with rigging coupler)
o
Servo Arm
o
M3 Washer
o
M3 Lock Nut

7.
Route the pull-pull wire through the fuselage and out the exit holes. Be sure to route the
cables so that they do not tangle or cross. The cables should route straight from the servo
arm to the exit of the fuselage.
⃞
8.
Attach the ball link to the rudder control horn using a 2.5mm hex driver and a 5.5mm nut
driver. Use the same order of hardware as done with the aileron control horns.
⃞
9.
Power on your radio system and make sure the control horn is perpendicular to the servo
case. Route a cable through a piece of heat shrink tubing, through a crimp and then
through the rigging coupler mounted to the servo arm. Route the cable back through the
crimp. For extra security, you can loop the cable around the crimp a final time. Repeat for
the other pull-pull cable.
⃞
10.
Pull the cables tight, while keeping the rudder centered. Once happy with the centering
of the servo with the cables tight, use a crimping tool to permanently attach the crimp to
the cables. Apply a small amount of thin CA to the cable and crimp joint for extra security.
Once the CA has fully cured, slide the heat shrink over the joint and shrink it to secure it in
place.
