103. Assemble the rear ends of the elevator and rudder pushrods, using the 2-56 x7" threaded one-end pushrods. Insert the
unthreaded end all the way into nylon tube and thread the pushrod in place, using about 1/2 of the threads. Now thread the
nylon clevis onto the reaming pushrod threads.
104.
Slide the elevator and rudder pushrod into the fuselage from the rear. Use the pushrod and clevis to help establish the
location for the elevator and rudder horn. Drill the mounting holes for the horns in the elevator and rudder and install them
using the screws provided. Move the control surfaces to check for freedom of movement. You may have to bend the rudder
pushrod slightly to prevent binding.
105.
Solder a solder clevises onto the unthreaded end of the 2-56 x1-1/2" threaded one-end pushrods. These are the servo ends
of the rudder and elevator pushrods. Make two of these assemblies, as shown.
106.
Attach the clevis to the output arms on the rudder and elevator servos. Position the elevator and rudder in the neutral
position. Pull the pushrod housings forward against the sides of the threaded rods and mark the housings at the forward
end of the threads in the rod. Cut the housing and inner pushrod at the mark. Remove the inner pushrod and cut an
additional 1" from the front of the housing. Reinstall the pushrods and screw the front clevis into the pushrods. Attach the
clevis to the servos and adjust the length so that the control surfaces are in the neutral position when the servos are
centered.
107.
Slip the lite ply pushrod retainers (F-22) into position on the elevator and rudder pushrods. The F-22’s should be glued to
former F-5 and to the pushrod housings.
108.
Bend the 3/64" dia. x5" switch extension
wire and install. Glue the 1/4" sq. spruce
retainer to F-21 so that it just touches
the wire extension.
109.
Hinge and install the ailerons on the
model. Glue the hinges securely and
also glue the torque rod ends into the
ailerons. When the glue is dry, flex the
ailerons up and down to loosen up the
hinges and to check for freedom of
movement.
110.
Remove the covering at the aileron servo rail locations at each end of the aileron servo and glue the 1/4" spruce servo rails
to the wing. When the glue is dry, mount the servo with the hardware supplied with the radio.
