d) Unclip the clevis from the rudder control horn so that you
can now pull as much of the wire pushrod forward into the radio
compartment as possible, to make is easier to finish the servo
end of the pushrod. Mark and cut the servo end of the pushrod
wire1/4" past the mark you made in the last step. Then use a pli-
ers to put a 90-degree bend in the wire.
e) With the pushrod still disconnected from the rudder, remove
the servo control arm from the servo. Install the servo arm and a
nylon pushrod snap keeper on the end of the pushrod, as shown.
Then re-install the servo arm on the servo.
f) Make sure that the rudder servo is in neutral position and
then adjust the metal clevis at the tail end as needed to get the
rudder in perfect neutral position.
g) After the rudder is properly adjusted, insure that the metal
clevis can’t open up and come loose from the control horn by slid-
ing the small piece of fuel tubing over the arms of the clevis. Also
tighten the M2 Hex Nut up against the back of the clevis

25) Locate the pushrod exit hole for the elevator inside the rear
of the fuselage and repeat step 24) in its entirety to install the el-
evator pushrod.

26) The first step of the electric installation is to provide an
opening in the firewall to allow cooling air to flow past the firewall
and into the fuselage to cool the ESC and battery pack. Look
closely at the bottom front of the firewall and you will find that an
oval shape has been partially cut through the firewall. It is being
held in place by 4 "connecting tabs" (small gaps where the wood
is not but through). Use a #11 hobby knife, or a 1/8" drill bit, to
cut or drill through the tabs so the oval can be removed.
