4. Mount the servo screws and remove. 

 

5. Apply some thin CA to harden the wood. Once glue is 

dry, mount the servo.

 

6. Prepare the servo arm by mounting the ball link and 

pushrod at 1.5-inch hole out. 

 

7. Power up the servo and with sub-trim at 0, mount the 

servo arm so it is pointing to the bottom of the fuse and is 

parallel to the rudder hinge line. Use sub-trim if needed. 

 

8. Apply threadlock on main mounting servo screw. 

Tighten the setscrews without use of threadlock.

 

9. Connect other side of pushrod to control horns.

 

10. Adjust the length of pushrod to achieve rudder center 

while the arm is parallel to the hinge line.

Note: Since there are two rudder servos used (one on 

each side), they can be matched in the radio using an 

Aux and P-Mix or using a MatchBox.
