(13) Bend two of the long rods as shown for the elevator and one of the rods for the
rudder
(16) Assemble the push rod as shown Place the two short (pre bent) rods into one
end of each rod with the single grooves Slide a piece of shrink tubing over
each rod and heat with a heat gun or a lighter to shrink the tubing for a tight fit
Place the elevator rods into the double grooved end of one of the rods
(14) Drill a 1/16" hole 2" from the ends (2 holes 1/16" apart on one end of one
rod) of both wood push rods and with a hobby knife Carefully cut straight
grooves from the holes to the ends Only cut a groove on one side of each end,
except for one end of one rod (the one with two holes) For this one end, make
a groove on both side
(17) Next, do the same with the other rod Make sure that each rod fits in a groove
(15) Cut 4 equal (about 2" each) pieces of the white shrink tubing
(18) Punch out the three rod exits at the tail and insert the rudder push rod into the
fuselage from the front and then through the bottom exit on the right side Do
the same with the elevator rod but put those through the top two holes It may
be necessary to bend the rods to fit
