When threading on the connector nut, don't tighten
the nut completely. You don't want the adjustable connector loose,
but you do want the adjustable connector to be able to rotate
without binding.
PRO TIP
To prevent the connector nut from loosening during flight, apply a drop of thin C/A to it. Allow the C/A to dry
before proceeding.
❑
Connect your radio system and plug the throttle servo into the receiver. Check to ensure that the throttle servo output shaft is
rotating in the correct direction. When the throttle control stick is moved forward, from the idle to the full throttle position, the servo
output shaft should rotate in the correct direction to open your engine's throttle barrel. If it doesn't, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter.
❑
Position the throttle control stick and the throttle trim lever on your transmitter to their lowest positions, then slide the adjustable
pushrod connector/servo horn assembly over the plain end of the throttle pushrod wire.

❑
Use wire cutters to cut away and remove the excess pushrod wire, then install and tighten the servo horn retaining screw to
hold the servo horn securely to the servo.
❑
Operate the throttle several times to ensure that the pushrod wire does not bind and that the carburetor opens and closes
completely. You may need to adjust your transmitter EPA settings to achieve perfect settings.
❑
After making sure that the throttle barrel is in the fully closed
position, angle the servo horn about 45º from center and attach it to the
servo output shaft. The pushrod connector should be facing the side of
the fuselage, as shown.
❑
While holding the throttle barrel fully closed, install and tighten the
machine screw in the top of the adjustable pushrod connector.
