Make the door handles using 3mm
pushrods and lock nuts. The handle
length is about ¾
”
(18
-
19mm). Bend
the pushrod about
1/8”
(3mm) from the
threads, as the pushrod will break if you
try to bend it exactly at the end of the
threads. Cover the handle with a length
of black heat shrink tubing.
26.
Flip the fuselage upside
-
down and
slide a
1”
length (25mm) of heat
shrink tubing and a crimp onto each
cable. Run the cables through the
outermost holes in the control horn,
back through the crimps, and then
looped again through the crimps.
27.
Power
-
up the rudder servo with the
receiver and ensure the rudder is
centered. Remove the slack from the
cables by pulling tight. Once satisfied
that the tail wheel is centered and the
cables are sufficiently tight, fix in
place with the crimps and cover with
the heat shrink tubing.
28.
Once the tail wheel cables are in-
stalled, sand and/or file the back of the
aft servo cover to provide clearance
for the pushrod and cable linkages.
29.
Trim the windows to about
1/8”
(3mm)
wide and glue in place in the fuselage
and doors using Pacer Formula 560.
Scrap balsa sticks can be used to help
hold them in place while the glue dries.
31.
Install the handles onto the doors, fac-
ing forward.
24.
Cut two lengths of the pull
-
pull cable to
about
40”
long (1020mm) and assemble
one end of each using a rigging coupler,
nut, clevis, and crimp. Run the cable
through a crimp, then the rigging cou-
pler, back through the crimp, and then
one more loop through the crimp. Once
assembled, cover the crimp joint with a
1”
length (25mm) of heat shrink tubing.
The crimp can be accomplished with a
crimping tool or a pair of pliers. We use
an old pair of diagonal pliers (wire cut-
ters) that have been filed down to be
very dull.
25.
Cut the openings in the covering for the
tail wheel steering cables where they
exit the fuselage, then install the cables
from the front. Attach the clevises to
the outermost holes on the rudder servo
arm.
23.
Attach the tail wheel assembly to the
bottom of the fuselage using 3mm flat-
head screws.
