Note: Do not use Thread Locker for these connections as they use locking nuts.
Install the ball link to the elevator control horn using a #1 Phillips head screwdriver while holding the nut with your finger to
prevent it from falling out as you start to tighten the screw. Install the forward ball link on the servo arm with the lock nut on the
top in the second hole out from the inside of the servo arm (see diagram below).

Install servo arm mounting screw with the technique noted below.
Note the proper use of thread locker when attaching a plastic servo arm to a servo with a metal output gear and and metal
center screw:
a. Place the servo arm on the output shaft with proper orientation.
b. Put a small drop of thread lock onto a piece of scrap paper.
c. Roll the end of the screw into the thread locker, then blot away any excess thread locker from the end and the side of the
screw leaving the thread lock only inside the screw threads.
d. Carefully install and snug the screw. This will let the thread lock secure the metal to metal joint, while keeping it off of the
plastic which is damaged by thread locker.
