15. Slide the ends of the elevator pushrod into the
tubes. Use a small piece of low-tack tape to keep the tubes
from slipping off the wires. Pay attention to the bend in the
opposite end of the elevator pushrod. It will face down when
installed in the elevator servo horn as shown in the following
steps.
16. Slide the elevator pushrod into the fuselage and out
of the pushrod exits. Use a nylon pushrod connector to
secure the pushrod wire to the elevator servo horn.
17. Use the radio system to center the elevator servo.
Center the elevator, aligning it with the stabilizer tip. Slide
a silicone clevis keeper on a nylon clevis. Thread the clevis
on the elevator pushrod and connect it to the middle hole
of the elevator control horn. Slide the silicone clevis keeper
over the forks of the clevis to prevent it from opening
accidentally in flight. Install both clevises and make sure
both elevator halves are centered when the servo is
centered.
