Remove the masking tape from the rudder and double-check that the servo arm, the rudder and the nose wheel are still
centered. If the rudder and/or nose wheel are not centered, adjust the nylon clevis and/or steering pushrod wire until they
are. Move the rudder right and left several times to ensure that the linkage assemblies do not bind. Double-check that
the nose wheel moves in the same direction as the rudder, too.

SECTION 15: ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
STEP 1: INSTALLING THE ELEVATOR SERVO
❑
Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto your elevator servo, making sure to install the collets with the flanges
toward the bottom of the servo.
❑
Install the elevator servo into the right-side cutout in the
plywood servo tray, as shown. Again, make sure to drill 1/16"
diameter pilot holes for the mounting screws.

The elevator 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 ELEVATOR PUSHROD ASSEMBLY
❑
Using the full-size drawing on page # 42, assemble the
elevator pushrod assembly, using two wheel collars and two
M3 x 8mm machine screws to secure the two pushrod wires
firmly together.

Adjust the pushrod wires so that both
threaded ends are even with each other. When tightening
the machine screws, make sure both pushrods stay flat and
don't twist up.
