Preparing the pushrods
❑
13. Locate the two wooden dowel pushrods and
apply thick CA+ to both ends of the shrink tubing to
insure a proper bond between the dowel and the
metal rod.
The elevator pushrod
❑
14. Using the illustration as a guide make a Z-bend
in the threaded rod on the elevator pushrod.
Taping the elevator
❑
15. Use masking tape to hold the elevator in the
neutral position while installing the pushrod and
connecting the servo linkage.
Install the pushrod
❑
16. Insert the elevator pushrod through the
fuselage and out the elevator exit hole. Find a nylon
clevis on the plastic parts tree and thread the clevis
onto the pushrod until the pushrod is visible on the
inside of the clevis. Connect the clevis to the elevator
control horn using the outer hole.
Connecting to the servo
❑
17. Cut one arm from the servo horn to reduce the
chance of interference with other control servos. Lay
the control rod on the second hole 1/2" (12.5mm)
from the center of the servo. Mark the control rod at
the hole location. Bend the rod down 90Þ and cut the
control rod 1/4" (6mm) after the bend. The control
rod may need to be removed from the fuselage to
make the bend. Be very careful of the relationship
between the "Z-bend" in the threaded rod and the 90Þ
bend. Insert the L-bend into the second hole 1/2"
(12.5mm) from the center of the servo arm. Locate the
retaining clevis and connect it to the control rod by
slipping it over the 90Þ bend and clipping it onto the
control rod, the rod will protrude through the servo
arm and retaining clevis.
