9. Using an Easy-Touch bar sander with 220-grit

sandpaper, sharpen the ends of all the 1mm [3/64"] carbon
pushrods. This will make it much easier to install them
through the Z-bend clevises.

❏ 

10. Slide a 1 x 120mm [3/64" x 4-3/4"] aileron pushrod

through the clevises in the aileron horns and servo arms.
Adjust the clevises until the ailerons are centered with the
servo centered. When you have the alignment correct,
secure the pushrod with a drop of glue where the pushrod
enters the clevis. Keep glue away from the end of the clevis
where it pivots in the arm or horn.

❏ 

11. Slide two pushrod guides (E3) onto the 1 x 370mm

[3/64" x 14-1/2"] elevator pushrod and slide the pushrod
through the clevises on the elevator servo arm and control
horn. Adjust the clevises until the elevator is centered with
the servo centered. Secure the clevises with a drop of glue
on each clevis where the pushrod enters it.

❏ 

12. Using the pushrod as a guide, drill two evenly-spaced

2.4mm [3/32"] holes through the fuselage for the pushrod
guides. Glue the base of each pushrod guide into the holes.

❏ 

13. Install the 1 x 345mm [3/64" x 13-1/2"] rudder

pushrod the same way.

❏ 

14. Connect all three servos to the receiver. Mount the

receiver to the bottom of the left horizontal fuselage with
double-sided foam tape. Make sure the receiver is far enough
forward so that it does not interfere with aileron motion.

❏ 

15. Drill two 1.5mm [1/16"] holes through the fuselage where

shown. “Stitch” the receiver antenna through these holes.
