Step 18 

–  Apply glue to the control horn base and posts (above left). Glue the control horns 

into the cut slots in the ailerons, elevator and rudder. Slide the horns so that the push-rod 
holes line up over the center of the hinge (above right). Save the 4 horn back plates as they 
will be used for push-rod stand off guides later. 

NOTE: All horns should be glued on the flat 

hinge side opposite of the cut bevels.

Step 19

 – Locate and install the extended     

Step 20

 –  Straighten the servo arm so that

aileron servo arm. If the servo arm doesn't     the push rods will be even lengths. Assemble
fit on your servo you can flip it over and          one of your aileron push rod which includes
CA glue it to your existing servo arm and        a 5 ¾” 1.5mm rod, 1 z-bend, 1 adjustable
heat shrink it.                                                   z-bends and 2 pieces of shrink tube. Lightly        
                                                                        sand each end of the carbon fiber push rod and 
                                                                        the z-bends where they will connect. 

NOTE: 

                                                                        Place a piece of cardboard or card-stock around 
                                                                        the control horn so that you do not apply heat 
                                                                        directly to the EPP when shrinking as pictured.
