Installing the Rudder Servo
1. Install your rudder servo into the provided mount inside the fuselage
under the cockpit.
2. Locate the pull ‐ pull wire exit holes pre ‐ cut into the fuselage sides and
open up the covering here as needed to run your pull ‐ pull cables
cleanly between your rudder control arms and the servo control arms.
3. Install the pull ‐ pull wire per the instructions that came with the pull ‐
pull wire kit you selected using the guides built into the fuselage sides.
Use 4 ‐ 40 gauge hardware.
4. Tension the pull ‐ pull wires to your preferences.
Mounting the Horizontal Stabilizers
1. Attach your selected Elevator Control horns to the elevator halves.
2. Using the stab tube provided attach each stabilizer half with the screw
and washer provided into the 3mm “T” ‐ nuts buried in the fuselage.
Use a drop of medium ‐ hold thread ‐ locking compound (you do want to
be able to remove these bolts someday) to secure the stab bolts in
place.
3. Since the size of the stab tube sleeve varies slightly, your stab tube may
have a lightly loose fit or a slightly tight fit for the fuselage section of
the sleeve. We recommend that you sand the tube slightly in the
center section to allow a tight tube to fit easier and that you build up
the center of the stab tube if it has a slightly loose fit.
