Pay careful attention to the way the elevator cables are routed.
One continuous
cable
goes from the control horn on the
top of one elevator
, through the fuselage,
through a crimp tube, and through
that same side of the servo arm
, then back out
through the crimp tube, through the other side of the fuselage and to the control horn
on the
top of the other elevator.
Read that last instruction again
until you are sure you get it.
Then locate one of the longest
cables and connect the clevis
to the control horn on top of
one elevator. Thread the cable
through the forward upper exit
hole in the side of the fuselage.
Put a crimp tube on the cable
and then feed the cable
through the outer hole of that
side of the servo arm of the
rear
servo.
Make sure the servo is centered
.
Now feed the cable back through the crimp tube, then out through the upper exit
hole in the opposite side of the fuselage and pull out the slack.
Connect a clevis/cable connector assembly to the control horn on top of the other
elevator. Run the cable through a crimp tube and then through the cable connector
and back through the crimp tube. Use clamps to hold the elevators in neutral
position while you pull the cable tight. Keep the cable tight while you finish the cable
end as you did above.
With the servo
centered, and the
clamps removed, push
down equally on both
elevators while you
crimp the tube that is
next to the servo arm.
Remember to put thin
CA on the end of all
crimp tubes after
crimping to prevent
slipping.
The cable will probably
be a little slack after
you finish it. Don't
worry you can screw in the clevises to adjust the tension.
The bottom elevator cable is installed the same way, but through the lower exit holes
in the fuselage and the
other side of the servo arm.
