7. Installing the elevator linkage
Glue the horn in the elevator permanently using
Ropoxi 5-minute epoxy.
Slip the elevator pushrod through the opening in
the fuselage, and install it as shown.
Prepare the elevator servo as shown in the il-
lustration, and set it to centre (neutral) from the
transmitter.
8. Installing the rudder linkage
Thread the braided cable through the opening
in the fuselage, as shown in the illustration. Slip
a brass crimp-sleeve onto the end of the cable,
followed by the ring-screw. Now form a loop in
the cable, and thread it through the brass slee-
ve a second time. Firmly crimp (squeeze) the
sleeve to secure the cable, using crimp pliers
or an electrical connector crimping tool. Screw
the ball-link onto the ring-screw. Glue the rudder
horn in place using Ropoxi 5-minute epoxy. Con-
nect the prepared cable to the horn as shown.
Repeat this procedure with the second cable on
the other side of the rudder.
