Step 14
Slide the wire through the outer hole in the rudder
servo arm. Secure the wire using a nylon wire keeper.
It may be necessary to drill out the hole in the servo
arm using a 5/64" drill bit.
Note
: Use a 1/4" piece of fuel tubing on the
clevis to keep it from opening during flight.
Step 15
Position the rudder in neutral. Secure the
steering control horn to the tail gear wire using a
3mm set screw.
Note
: It is important to file a small flat spot
on the tail gear wire and use threadlock on the
set screw. Failure to do so may result in the
set screw loosening during flight.
Step 16
Remove the back plate from a control horn using side
cutters or a sharp hobby knife.
Step 17
Position the control horn on the aileron so the horn
aligns with the aileron servo horn and the aileron
hinge line. Mark the position for the mounting
holes using a felt-tipped pen.
Step 18
Drill three 3/32" holes at the locations marked in
the previous step.
Step 19
Attach the control horn using three #2 x 3/4" screws
and the control horn backplate.
