16) If the elevator is moving more than 3/8”,
move the adjustable servo connector in one hole to-
ward the center of the servo horn to decrease the
control deflection. If the elevator is moving less than
3/8”, move the Z-bend one hole closer to the base of
the control horn to increase the control deflection.
When adjusted properly, the elevator should move
3/8” both up and down.
INSTALLING THE RUDDER
SERVO CONNECTOR
❑
17) Locate one plastic "4-point" servo horn that
came with your servo. Each of the arms should have
at least three holes in them.
❑
18) Using a pair of wire cutters, carefully re-
move one of the plastic arms.
❑
19) Using a drill with a 5/64” drill bit, enlarge
the third hole out from the center of the arm opposite
the one you cut off.
❑
20) 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 # 18 below.
❑
21) Per your radio system guide and ESC instruc-
tions, plug the flight battery into the ESC, then plug
the ESC and the rudder servo leads into their proper
slots in the receiver. Turn on the radio system.

The Thread-Lock will secure the nut in place
and prevent it from loosening during flight.
INSTALLING THE SERVO HORN
❑
22) Check to make sure the rudder control stick
and the rudder trim lever are centered.
❑
23) Slide the adjustable servo connector/servo
horn assembly over the end of the rudder pushrod
wire and align the servo horn with the servo output
shaft.
❑
24) Attach the servo horn to the output shaft,
making sure that the servo horn is centered. See
photo # 19 below.

❑
25) Use a couple of pieces of masking tape,
taped between the vertical stabilizer and the rudder,
to hold the rudder centered.
❑
26) With the rudder servo horn centered, use a
# 2 phillips screwdriver and tighten the machine screw
in the adjustable servo connector.
❑
27) Using a # 1 phillips screwdriver, install and
tighten the servo arm retaining screw, provided with
your servo, to secure the servo horn into place.
❑
28) Remove the masking tape from the rudder
and double check that the rudder and the rudder servo
are still centered.
❑
29) With your radio system plugged in and
turned on, check the direction the rudder control sur-
face moves and the amount of deflection. To do
this push right on the rudder control stick. The rud-
der should move right. If it does not, flip the servo
reversing switch on your transmitter to change the
direction. (Refer to your radio guide for more in-
formation on this function.)
