Now for the pushrods. Install your fuselage servos as shown.
I use a 13mm arm on the elevator servo and a 9mm arm on the rudder servo.
Cut your carbon pushrods to length and clean the ends with acetone.
Lightly sand the ends with 210 grit ready for gluing.
Install your clevises to the pushrod extenders, and screw them half way down the
threads to that you have adjustment if required.
Ensure that the inside of your pushrod extenders are clean, and rough them up a
little with a small file.
Centre your fuselage servos.
Tape your rudder up in the central position.
Ensure that the bellcrank is positioned centrally in the tailplane fillets on the
fuselage.
Using epoxy, or thick CA, glue your pushrod extenders onto the ends of the carbon
pushrods. Clip the clevis onto the servo horn before the glue dries so that you are
sure to have everything centralised.
Once dry, stabilise the ends of the pushrod outers with a small blob of thickened
epoxy to the fuse side as shown.
NOTE: Check that servos and surfaces are centred when gluing.
