horizontal stabilizer.
Upper (self-locking) nut
Lower nut (snugged against bottom
surface of the horizontal stabilizer)
l
) As pictured at the right, install a supplied EZ-Link
connector at each end of a bellcrank. Position the
bellcrank on the bolt with its longest arm toward the
elevator’s hinge line.
m
) Position the remaining nut on the bolt to allow
the bellcrank to rotate freely. Being careful to
NOT
glue the bellcrank to the bolt or nut, use thin CA
adhesive to secure the nut to the bolt.
n
) Align the vertical opening in the rudder with the
corresponding opening in the rudder’s hinge assembly. Insert
the rudder's hinge pin into this opening in the rudder.
(NOTE: A conservative modeler may choose to permanently
secure the hinge pin into its opening with glue.)
o
) Glue the rudder control horn into its precut
slot on the left side of the rudder.
(NOTE: As shown at the right,
the rudder-control-horn angles

) Use the hardware supplied with
your servo to attach the servo arm
and to mount your rudder servo in
the servo tray under the
LEFT
-side of
the horizontal stabilizer as shown at
the right.
q
) Test-fit pushrods between the rudder's
control horn, bellcrank, and rudder servo.
r
) Use the EZ-Link connectors to adjust the
rudder pushrods to center the rudder when
your rudder servo is centered. (NOTE: Do
NOT
cut any excess length from the rudder's
pushrods at this time.)
s
) Connect and operate your radio or a servo tester
and adjust the rudder's pushrods to permit full
travel of the rudder to the left and to the right.
t
) Tighten the EZ-Link connectors and cut
off any excess length from both pushrods.
u
) Connect and guide rudder- and elevator-
servo 24-inch extensions along the bottoms
of the booms and secure the extensions to
the booms with black tape or wire ties.
v
) As pictured at the right, secure the
extensions to the bottom of the lower
wing’s center section with transparent
tape.
