The control surface linkages
Cut off the excess length of the snake outer sleeves (4) at the tail end of the
fuselage. Slip the rudder pushrod (16) into the outer sleeve from the tail end, and slip
the front end through the swivel pushrod connector (5) mounted on the right-hand
servo. Connect the rudder horn (15) to the pre-formed end of the pushrod, then glue
the horn in the slot in the rudder. Install the elevator pushrod (18) in the same way.
Place the tailplane (20) on the fin and secure it with the countersunk plastic screw
(22). Tip: if you are a beginner to model flying, connect the pushrods to the outer
holes in the rudder and elevator horns in order to obtain small control surface travels.
If you prefer more marked control response, use the inner holes in the horns, as
shown in the photographs.
Set the rudder and elevator to centre, then tighten the clamping screws (9). Hold the
connector barrel tightly in a pair of flat-nose pliers while you do this, as shown in the
photograph.
The wing
Glue the spar channel covers (24) and (26) in the wing panels as shown, but do not
use activator spray for these joints. Spray cyano activator in the channel for the spar
(27) to eliminate any possibility that it might become stuck permanently in the wing.
If you do not intend to equip the model with aileron servos initially, apply adhesive
film (33) over the aileron servo openings and the aileron hinge line.
Please note that the following parts are not required for the rudder / elevator version:
four servo extension leads, two aileron pushrods (31), two aileron horns (15), and two
C 231 servos.
Please refer to the section entitled “Control surface checks” for information on
control surface travels.
