connection).

When needed, disassemble in reverse order.

Clevis Installation

•  Turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of the linkage 
 

between the servo arm and the control horn.

•  Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage.
•  Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin into the desired 
 

hole in the control horn. 

•  Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn.

After binding a transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and 
sub-trims to 0, then adjust the clevises to center the control surfaces.

Horizontal Tail Installation

The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo 
arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making changes. 

After fl ying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired 
control response. See the table below.
