REDWING RC 50CC EXTRA 

• Install the pushrod with the included 

hardware. 

 

From the Pro:

 It is essential that you install the side 

with the standoff toward the control horn and use a 

small washer on the outside of the ball link.  This will 

prevent the ball joint from slipping off under load.  

 

NOTE:

 It is easier to install the rudder, 

tailwheel, and pull-pull linkage before mounting 

the Horizontal stabs to the fuselage. 

 

 

•Install the Elevator servo extensions to the 

fuselage. Then, insert the carbon fiber stabilizer 

tube to the 

fuselage.  

DO NOT 

GLUE!

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•Locate the stabilizer hardware and place 

washers as shown below. 

 

 

 

•Install the stabilizer halves onto the carbon 

fiber tube, connect the servo leads, and secure 

using the screws with a drop of thread locking 

compound on each. 

 

 

From the Pro:

 

Use heat 

shrink tube to 

secure the 

servo lead to 

the extension.
