6. Mount the servos to the battery holder as shown using
the screws and rubber grommets that came with the servos.
❏
7. Make an approximately 1/2" [13mm] deep V-bend in
both pushrod wires as shown (the precise location and
depth of the bends isn’t critical). Guide the pushrods through
the tail wire mount and the aft wing mount. Then, if
necessary, slightly enlarge the holes in the servo arms to
accommodate the wires and mount the wires to the servo
arms. Note: The elevator pushrod (on the right side of the
model–not visible in the photograph) goes in the servo arm
on the top of the servo.
❏
8. Center the servo arms on the servos. Make an L-bend
in the end of both wires where they fit into the control horns
so the rudder and elevator will be centered. Cut off any
excess wire so approximately 1/4" [6mm] of the “L” remains.
Connect the pushrods to the second-from-the-outer holes in
the control horns. Later, after the elevator and rudder have
been centered and the control throws have been set,
retainers will be installed on the wires so they cannot come
out of the control horns.
❏
9. Fit the tail wire into the slot in the bottom of the tail
wire mount. Use a few drops of thin CA followed by a few
drops of medium CA to glue the tail wire into the mount and
to glue the mount onto the fuselage boom.
❏
10. Use medium-grit sandpaper to roughen the ends of the
landing gear wire where the retainers go. Slip on the wheels,
and then glue on the retainers with a drop of medium CA. Be
careful not to inadvertently get any glue on the wheels.
❏
11. Bend the tail wire as necessary to raise the elevator
approximately 1/2" [13mm] from the ground when it is level.
