fuselage.
2. Carefully cut away the covering material from the
slot.

driver and guide the pushrod out of the exit slot.
4. Install the clevis on the rudder pushrod. Make sure
6mm of thread shows inside the clevis.
5. The control horn should be mounted on the left
side of the rudder at the leading edge, in line with
the rudder pushrod.
6. Drill two holes through the rudder using the control
horn as a guide and screw the control horn in
place.
7. Attach clevis to the third hole in the control horn.
8. Locate one nylon servo arm, and using wire
cutters, remove all but one of the arms using a
2mm drill bit, enlarge the third hole out from the
center to accommodate the rudder pushrod wire.
9. Plug the rudder servo into the receiver and center
the servo. Install the servo arm onto the servo.
