INSTRUCTIONS

 

35.  Locate the intersection of the control rod and the 

servo wheel, then mark with a permanent 
marker.     

 

36.  Make a "L" bend on the servo end of the rod at 

the mark on the rod, then install on the servo.  
You can adjust the center of the control surface 
by twisting the clevis.   

 

37.  Snap the keeper over the control wire, after 

placing it the hole.  This holds the wire in the 
servo arm.  

  

38.  Install the rudder control horn similarly to the 

elevator halves.  Locate (1) control horn and line 
it up with the end of the control rod.  Mark 
through the holes with a pen, then drill through 
with a 1/16” drill.  Install the horn with (3) 
screws, into the horn backing plate.  Screw a 
clevis on the control rod and a coupler on the 
control horn, then snap the clevis onto the 
control horn.  

39.  Locate the intersection of the control rod and the 

servo wheel, then mark with a permanent 
marker.     

 

40.  Make a "L" bend on the servo end of the rod at 

the mark on the rod, then install on the servo.  
You can adjust the center of the control surface 
by twisting the clevis.   Install a keeper on the 
“L” to lock it into place.  

Put a small piece of 

fuel tubing on each clevis to assure that they 
stay closed.

  

 

41.  Place the fiberglass cowl on the nose of the 

aircraft and measure from the engine crank hole 
to the firewall with a ruler.  Write down the 
length. 

 Add 1/8”.  This is the distance that will 

be from the firewall to the prop back plate on 
your motor.
