❑
Attach the servo horn to the Z-Bend, then attach the servo
horn to the servo, making sure it's centered.
☞
The pushrod should be toward the top of the servo arm,
as shown.
❑
Install and tighten the servo horn retaining screw, provided
with your servo, to secure the servo horn into place.
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to install the second aileron control horn and pushrod assembly on the half of
the wing.
Step 4: Installing the Elevator Pushrod Assembly
❑
Install the elevator pushrod assembly using the same
techniques as installing the aileron pushrod assemblies.
The
only difference is that the elevator control horn should
be installed 5/16" out from the inside edge of the elevator.
This will ensure that the control horn doesn't interfere with
the nylon bushing you installed previously in the elevator.
☞
Don't forget to install and tighten the servo arm retaining
screw so that the servo arm doesn't come off during flight.

Step 1: Installing the Electronic Speed Control
Important Tip:
Before installing your ESC check to make sure that the battery wires are long enough to reach the
battery compartment in the bottom of the fuselage. The wires should be at least 5" long from the ESC to the plug.
Even More Important Tip:
To minimize current loss, it is imperative that you remove the stock Tamiya connector
likely preinstalled on your ESC and flight battery, and replace them with a high-quality connector, such as a Dean's
Ultra-Plug. Failure to do this can cause a loss of power and result in a poor flying airplane.
IMPORTANT
If you are planning on installing the optional landing gear and steerable nose gear, save the scrap piece of
elevator pushrod wire. This piece will be used for the steering linkage.
