Fix the elevator to the fuselage with the
screws provided. Do not glue it on yet.
There are multiple options to install the
elevator linkage. The rudder horn can
either be installed beside the exhaust duct
as shown above or installed below the
exhaust duct so that it is hidden inside the
fuselage. In the case of an installation
beside the fuselage, a slot needs to be cut
into the fuselage to allow either the
pushrod or the servo horn to exit.
In the next steps, we will describe the
installation of the hidden linkage.
For the hidden installation of the elevator
linkage a cutout needs to be made in the
fuselage to allow the rudder horn to go
inside. Remove the elevator, mark a 2cm
slot as shown above and cut it out.
Please note:
the slot should be made as
close as possible to side wall of the
fuselage to allow the rudder horn to clear
the exhaust duct.
Attach the elevator again and check the
rudder horn clearance. Enlarge the slot if
required until the elevator can move freely.
Check the clearance of the rudder horn
with the exhaust duct and shorten the
rudder horn if required.
Mark the horn position, drill the mounting
holes and secure it in place.
