Acro Wot - Instructions
STEP 42
Now connect one of the clevises to the rudder servo and feed the wire out
through the corresponding slot in the rear of the fuselage. Use a scrap length of
snake tube to help. Repeat for the second wire, connecting this to the other side
of the servo horn. Check that the wires are routed clear of - and not wrapped
around - the elevator pushrod.
STEP 43
Now make up the rudder ends of the closed loop. Slip brass tubing over the
wires. With the servo and rudder centred and ensuring that both wires are
tight without being stretched, crimp the brass tube and add a drop of cyano to
secure. Use a short length of fuel tubing over each clevis for additional security.
STEP 44
With the elevator and servo centred, mark the point that the pushrod passes
the servo output arm. Use a wrap of masking tape on the rod to make marking
it easier. Form a 90° bend in the pushrod at this point using a pair of pliers.
STEP 45
Slip the bent pushrod through the servo horn and fit a moulded swing-in keeper.
Now trim off the excess length of wire and test the operation of the elevator.
STEP 46
Screw the engine mount onto the bulkhead as shown noting the orientation of
the mount. Use the supplied mounting screws and washers - the captive nuts
have been factory installed in the bulkhead. Both two stroke and four stroke
engines can be installed using this mount.
STEP 47
Place your engine on the mount. Adjust its position until the distance from
the front of the the prop driver to the rear of the mount is 120mm. Mark the
positions of the engine mounting bolts.
