c) Installing the rudder
Use 5-minute epoxy glue to glue the rudder (1) to the top of the fuselage so that
the front part of the rudder is flush with the fuselage (2) and there is a gap of
about 3 mm (3) between the rudder blade and the fuselage.
When the glue has hardened, insert the pushrod for the rudder into the Bowden
tube from the back. Attach the clevis to the rudder arm (4). Fasten the clevis
using the silicone ring (5).
d) Installing elevator and rudder servo
Install the elevator servo (1) and the rudder servo (2) on the servo plate in the
rear part of the fuselage. Attach a linkage connector to each servo arm (3).
Push the Bowden tube for the elevator (5) into one of the Bowen guides (4).
Align the unit to the side so that it can be linked in a straight line. Glue the guide
(4) to the servo plate at the bottom and to the bar of the wing support at the top.
Now push both pushrods for the elevator into the linkage connector of the
elevator servo. Attach the elevator arm to the servo at a 90-degree angle to the
fuselage axis.
Put both elevator flaps in neutral position. Fasten the two pushrods at the linkage
connector using the screw. Cut the pushrods to length leaving an excess length
of 5 mm.
Align the height of the Bowden tubes so that the linkage is straight, and glue
the tubes to the guide.
Push the Bowden tubes for the rudder (6) into the second Bowden guide (4).
Align the unit to the side so that it can be linked in a straight line. Glue the guide
(4) to the servo plate at the bottom and to the bar of the wing support at the top.
Now push the pushrod for the rudder into the linkage connector of the rudder
servo. Attach the rudder arm to the servo at a 90-degree angle to the fuselage
axis.
Put the rudder flaps in neutral position. Fasten the pushrod at the linkage
connector using the screw. Cut the pushrod to length leaving an excess length
of 5 mm.
Align the height of the Bowden tubes so that the linkage is straight, and glue
the tubes to the guide.
