2. Now install the rudder to the fuselage. Slip the CA hinges into the precut slots and make sure the
rudder is aligned correctly and glue the hinges with thin CA. Next, install your rudder servo into the
precut locations in either the radio trey or fuselage side in the tail (See note above). You will need to
locate the hole in the side of the fuselage and remove the covering. The hole is just below the leading
edge of the horizontal stabilizer. You can mount the supplied full rudder servo arm to your circular servo
wheel that comes with what every servo that you are using. Use the full arm for the radio trey mounted
servo and cut one side off for the tail mounted servo. Set up your radio accordingly and center the rudder
servo. The geometry of your servo arm relative to the rudder horn is critical for proper rudder operation
without binding or excess cable slack.
3. Locate the pull-pull cable set, threaded couplers, brass swaging tubes, and ball-links. If the cable is
one long piece, cut it into two equal length pieces. Thread one end of the cable through a brass tube and
then through one of the threaded couplers. Run the cable back through the brass tube and then loop it
back through a second time. Using a set of crimping pliers, place three crimps just tight enough not to cut
the brass tube but enough to securely hold the wire in place. Cut off the excess cable with wire cutters.
Wick thin CA into the brass tube to help hold the cable secure. Repeat for the other cable.
4. Thread the couplers about half way into the ball links of the rudder. Hint: remove the ball links from
the rudder horn first to make this step easier and then re-install once the couplers are threaded on. Feed
the loose end of each cable into the cable slots at the rear of the fuselage and feed them forward towards
the servo mount location. A coat hanger with a hook on the end can be useful here if you can’t reach the
cable.
