1. Carefully remove the film covering the servo bays

just behind the wings. Insert a servo with the spline toward
the tail as shown on both sides of the fuselage.

❏ ❏

2. Glue the servo in place using medium CA.

❏ ❏

3. Insert a Z-bend clevis (A1) into a control horn

(B1) as shown. It may be necessary to slightly enlarge the
hole in the control horn (B1) to allow the Z-bend clevis (A1)
to rotate freely. If necessary, use a sharp hobby knife to
enlarge the hole.

❏ ❏

4. Glue the control horn (B10) in place using medium

CA as shown. Press a backplate (B2) onto the back side of
the control horn (B1).

❏ ❏

5. Install a Z-bend clevis (A1) in the last hole out on the

servo arm. If needed, enlarge the hole in the servo arm slightly
with a sharp hobby knife prior to attaching it to the servo.

❏ ❏

6. Center all trims on your radio system and connect

the rudder servo to the rudder channel to center the servo.
Attach a servo arm (G6) as shown.

❏ ❏

7. Locate a 12" [305mm] carbon rod and one pushrod

standoff (E3).

❏ ❏

8. Slide one pushrod stand off onto the 12" [305mm]

carbon rod. Insert the pushrod into both Z-bend clevises
(A1) as shown. If necessary, lightly sand the carbon rod. Be
careful when inserting it into the clevis.

Install the Servos & Pushrods

In the following sections, the hardware you will be using
will come from the included plastic parts trees.
Whenever possible, the part will have a number
associated with it and that number will be in
parentheses. For example, the Z-bend clevis part
number is A1 on the parts tree.
