❑
Connect your radio system and plug the rudder servo lead into its proper slot in the receiver. Double-check that the
rudder trim lever on your transmitter is centered.
❑
Slide the end of the pushrod into the preinstalled pushrod
housing, then slide the adjustable servo connector over the
end of the steering pushrod wire.
❑
Install the servo horn onto the servo, making sure it's
centered.
❑
Install and tighten the servo horn retaining screw to
secure the servo horn into place.
❑
With the rudder servo horn centered, carefully center the nose wheel. When satisfied with the alignment, install and
tighten the set screw into the servo connector to hold the steering pushrod wire securely in place. Cut away the excess
wire using a pair of wire cutters.
Step 2: Installing the Control Horn & Clevis
❑
Use a couple of pieces of masking tape to hold the rudder centered.
❑
Position the nylon control horn onto the
left side
of the
rudder, aligning the centerline of the control horn with the
pushrod wire. The centerline of the control horn should be
approximately 1" up from the bottom of the rudder.
❑
Adjust the control horn so that it is level with the pushrod
wire and the clevis attachment holes are over the hinge line.
☞
The base of the control horn should
not
be parallel to the
hinge line.
❑
Mark the positions of the control horn mounting screws, then remove the control horn and set it aside.
❑
Drill the holes through the rudder for the mounting screws using a 5/64" diameter drill bit.
❑
Install the control horn and backplate using two 2mm x 15mm machine screws, being careful not to overtighten them.
❑
With the rudder servo horn and rudder still centered,
thread one clevis onto the pushrod wire and snap it into the
fourth hole
out from the base of the control horn.
☞
Hold the pushrod tube with a pair of pliers to prevent it
from turning while installing the clevis.
