8. Use your radio system to center the rudder servo and attach either the supplied arm or
an appropriate arm for your servo. Thread one of the ball links about half way onto one of
the threaded couplers. Feed the loose end of one of the cables through a brass tube and
then through the threaded coupler. Holding the rudder centered, adjust the cable length as
tight as possible while checking the ball link position over the servo arm. When satisfied
with the position, pinch the cable around the threaded coupler and then feed the loose end
back through the brass tube. Loop the cable back through the brass tube as before and
crimp the brass tube three times just tight enough not to cut the brass tube but enough to
securely hold the wire in place. Cut off the excess cable with wire cutters. Wick thin CA
into the brass tube to help hold the cable secure. Repeat for the other cable. Hint: Once
you have established the position of the threaded coupler on the cable, you can remove the
ball link from the rudder horn to give you more working slack in the fuselage. Re-install
the ball link prior to setting the other cable.
