3. There is a 5mm hole in the firewall for the pushrod
guide tube that will align with the throttle arm on most
two-stroke engines. Use medium sandpaper to roughen
both plastic pushrod guide tubes. Insert one pushrod guide
tube through the hole in the firewall for the throttle, and the
other for the steering pushrod guide tube.
❍
4. Thread a nylon clevis 25 full turns onto the threaded
pushrod wire. Slip a silicone retainer over the clevis. Insert
the pushrod with the clevis all the way into the throttle guide
tube and connect the clevis to the throttle arm on the engine
as shown in the photograph above.

5. Note: The above photograph is taken from the bottom
of the fuselage. Run the un-threaded steering pushrod
through the screw-lock pushrod connector and continue
pushing it all the way into the steering rod guide tube.
Position the pushrod guide tubes to extend approximately
1/8" [3mm] past the firewall and glue them into place using
6-minute epoxy.
❍
6. Screw two nylon clevises 25 full turns onto the two
threaded wire pushrods. Slip silicone retainers over the
clevises. Slit the covering material where the guide tubes
exit the fuselage with a hobby knife. The location of the
rudder tube exit is on top of the fuse next to the fin and the
elevator tube exit is located on the same side of fuse under
the stab. After you have made your cuts, slide the assembled
pushrods through the guide tubes.
❍
7. Connect the clevises to the control horns, placing
them in the second hole from the end of the horn as shown.
Position the control horns on the elevator and rudder as
shown in the photograph. The row of holes in the horns
should be over the hinge line. If necessary small bends may
be made in the pushrods to position them with the control
surfaces. Mark the locations of the holes in the base of the
