4. Plug the servos and switch into the receiver and the receiver battery

into the switch. Then wrap the receiver and the receiver battery in
natural foam. Use the rubber bands to loosely hold the foam in place.

This foam packing protects the radio components from damaging
engine vibrations. Place the battery toward the front of the
compartment.

CONTROL HORN INSTALLATION

1. Caution: When installing control horns the center line of the control

horn holes must be the same as the center line of the hinge joint. If
not the control surface will move farther one way than the other.

PUSH ROD INSTALLATION

1. Insert the threaded end of the rudder pushrod into the fuselage;

working it around until the end of the push rod is extending through
the exit hole on the top of the fuselage. This may take some time.
Cut a piece (3/16") from the retaining tube and slide onto the rod,

2. Mount the rudder control horn so that it is on the center line of the

hinge joint and pointing toward the push rod as shown. Mark the
location of the two mounting holes and drill a hole on the marks.
Insert the m2 x 20 screws through the horn and into the control horn
back plate. Attach the clevis to the control horn. Slide the retaining

tube over the clevis to secure it.

2. Insert the threaded end of the elevator pushrod into the fuselage;

working it around until the end of the rod i s extending through the exit

hole on the left lower side of the fuselage. This may take some time.
Cut another piece (3/16") from the retaining tube and slide onto the
rod. Install the nylon clevis onto the threaded end of the push rod.
