Hook Up the Elevator and Rudder
❏
1. Thread a clevis onto two 26" [660mm] pushrods and
connect them to two large control horns. Mount the horns
to the elevator and rudder with M2 x 12 machine screws and
backing plates as shown.
❏
2. Place the elevator and rudder servos in the servo tray
(enlarge the tray as necessary to accommodate your servos).
Install servo arms that will be perpendicular to the pushrods
as shown and cut off the unused arms.
❏
3. With the surfaces centered, mark, bend and cut the
pushrods and connect them to the servos. You can bend
and cut the pushrods while they are in the fuselage, but it
will be easier to cut and bend them out of the fuselage (but
then the clevises will have to be temporarily removed so the
pushrods can be reinserted from the front of the guide tubes).
❏
4. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the servo tray and
mount the servos to the servo tray with the screws included
with the servos.
❏
5. You can temporarily connect the servos to the receiver
and operate the servos and adjust the length of the pushrods
now, or later when performing fi nal radio setup.
Mount the Motor
If using a glow engine skip to
Mount the Engine
on page 16.
❏
1. Mount the motor to an Electrifl y Brushless Motor Mount
for Medium Motors (not included), but do not use the M3
x 10 screws that came with the motor because they are
too long and may protrude into the motor and contact the
copper windings. Use M3 x 6 screws instead (DTXC8650
or HPIC0351).
❏
2. Cut the
brushless motor mount template
from the
back of the instruction manual (or from the card that came
with the brushless motor mount) and tape it to the fi rewall
aligning the cross marks. Use a pin to mark the mounting
screw holes into the fi rewall.
