Step 1: Installing the Elevator Pushrod Assembly
❑
Carefully install your elevator and rudder servos into the
servo tray, making sure that the servo output shafts are
toward the front of the fuselage, as shown.
❑
Slide one nylon pushrod snap-link onto one 18" long
pushrod wire, then make a short L-Bend in the very end of
the wire, using needle nose pliers.
❑
Using a pair of needle nose pliers, carefully bend a "V"
shape into the wire, as shown. The middle of the "V" should
be 7/8" in front of the L-Bend and the "V" shape should be
toward the L-Bend, as shown.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that when you bend the "V" shape
into the wire that the snap-link is between the L-Bend and the
"V" shape, as shown.
IMPORTANT
The "V" shaped bend is necessary to allow center-trim adjustments to the pushrod wire. Do not omit
this procedure or you won't be able to center the control surfaces.
IMPORTANT
The holes in the servo tray are precut to fit most micro servos. Depending on the particular servo
you're using, you may need to modify the size of the holes slightly.
