Make sure the control lines in the fuselage are not tangled, then attach the clips to the servo
arms and mount the arms on the servos.
Elevator & rudder control-line connection guidelines
The following general procedure will be done six times – once for each of the rudder and
elevator control lines. More detailed control-surface-specific instructions are provided in
subsequent paragraphs;
do not perform these steps until you read those sections
thoroughly.
The rudder and elevator control lines will be connected (with the assistance of
a steel clevis that’s threaded onto a small brass pullrod) to the curved wooden horns that are
mounted through the control surfaces.. This connection procedure should be performed
only after
i.
clamping the servo arm into a neutral position (or activate the radio system)
ii.
clamping the control surface into a neutral position (in-line with its stabilizer), and
iii.
attaching the steel clevis to the hole in the wooden control horn (pull back the spring
to open the clevis).
Each control line is inserted
i. first
through
a
narrow, 1cm-long crimp tube,
ii.
then through the hole in the brass pullrod,
iii.
then back the other way through the crimp tube,
