Pushrod Housing Installation
1.
From the DuBro RC pushrod kit (DUB922) thread the plastic push rod housing through the fuselage assembly
as illustrated below. The pushrod housing passes through pre-cut holes in ply formers and exits fuselage
through one of the partially cut exits. Complete one side at a time using the plan set as a reference start
threading the housing from former F5 aft through fuselage. Housings will not cross so stick to the pre-drilled
holes in the formers on the same side as your start hole.
2.
Once your housing has reached one of the pre-defined exit points through the balsa top or bottom of the
fuselage assembly remove the exit plug by completing the cuts in the top or bottom former to create an exit slot
as illustrated below.
3. With the exit point plug removed complete the pushrod installation by allowing the pushrod to extend
approximately 1/8 in. beyond the end of the exit point. Bond push rod housing at each capture point using CA
glue then trim excess housing to extend only 3/16 in. forward of former F5 as illustrated below.
