4) Slide one adjustable servo connector
through the hole you enlarged. Apply a drop of
Pacer Thread-Lock to the nut, then thread the nut
into place. When you thread the nut on, don't tighten
it completely. You don't want the connector loose,
but you do want it to be able to rotate without bind-
ing too much. See photo # 16 below.
☛
The Thread-Lock will secure the nut in place
and prevent it from loosening during flight.
☛
Before starting the next few steps, please make
sure you have read and completely understood how
your radio control system and ESC operate.
❑
5) Per your radio system guide and ESC instruc-
tions, plug the flight battery into the ESC, then plug
the ESC and the elevator servo lead into their proper
slots in the receiver. Turn on the radio system.
❑
6) Check to make sure the elevator control stick
and the elevator trim lever are centered.
❑
7) Slide the adjustable servo connector/servo
horn assembly over the end of the elevator pushrod
wire and align the servo horn with the servo output
shaft.
❑
8) Attach the servo horn to the output shaft,
making sure that the servo horn is centered. See
photo # 17 below.

9) Use a couple of pieces of masking tape, taped
between the horizontal stabilizer and the elevator, to
hold the elevator centered.
❑
10) With the elevator servo horn centered, use
a # 2 phillips screwdriver and tighten the machine
screw in the adjustable servo connector.
❑
11) Using a # 1 phillips screwdriver, install and
tighten the servo arm retaining screw, provided with
your servo, to secure the servo horn into place.
❑
12) Remove the masking tape from the elevator
and double check that the elevator and the elevator
servo are still centered.
❑
13) With your radio system plugged in and
turned on, check the direction the elevator control
surface moves and the amount of deflection. To do
this pull back on the elevator control stick. The el-
evator should move up. If it does not, flip the servo
reversing switch on your transmitter to change the
direction. (Refer to your radio guide for more infor-
mation on this function.)
❑
14) Pull back completely on the elevator con-
trol stick. While holding the control stick fully back,
use a ruler and measure the amount the trailing edge
of the elevator moves up. This measurement should
be 3/8”. See figure # 5 below.

❑
15) If the control surface deflection is more or
less than 3/8” it must be changed. If your radio is
equipped with End Point Adjustments (EPA), make
those adjustments using the transmitter. (Refer to your
radio guide for further details.) If your radio does
not have this feature, you can still make the adjust-
ments to the pushrod manually.
