SECTION 14: RUDDER CONTROL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
STEP 1: INSTALLING THE RUDDER SERVO
❑
Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto your rudder servo, making sure to install the collets with the flanges
toward the bottom of the servo.
❑
Install the rudder servo into the left-side cutout in the
plywood servo tray, as shown. Again, make sure to drill 1/16"
diameter pilot holes for the mounting screws.

The rudder servo should be pushed up
against the side of the servo cutout (nearest the fuselage
side) and the servo output shaft should be toward the
back of the fuselage, too.
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE RUDDER PUSHROD ASSEMBLY
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove two arms from a "4-point" servo horn.
❑
Enlarge the hole in one remaining servo arm that is 5/16"
out from the center of the servo arm, using a 5/64" diameter
drill bit, then enlarge the hole in the second remaining servo
arm that is 7/16" out from the center of the servo arm, using a
5/64" diameter drill bit.
❑
Install the adjustable servo connector into the hole that is
5/16" out from the center of the servo arm, making sure to
apply a drop of thin C/A to the connector nut so it does not
come loose during flight.
