11. Set the fuselage on your work bench and readjust
the wheel collars on the nose gear so the fuselage is level.
Secure the 6-32 screws in the wheel collars with a drop of
thread lock.
❏
1. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue two 6-32 x 1/2" machine
screws in the front holes in the fuselage channel. Insert the
screws from inside the channel just like you did the 4-40
screws in the rear of the channel for the stab.
❏
2. Insert three servos into the fuselage channel in the
orientation shown in the sketch. The front servo should be
approximately 3" from the front of the channel but should
not interfere with the 6-32 screw you glued in the channel.
The other servos should be behind the front servo but not
contacting each other.
❏
3. Temporarily connect the servos and a battery pack to
the receiver. Then turn on the receiver and transmitter to
center the servos. Place a servo arm on each servo in the
orientation shown in the sketch, then turn off the system
and disconnect the servos.
❏
4. Mount the receiver to the fuselage channel behind the
rear servo. There are a few ways to mount the receiver but
the most secure way, and the recommended way is to make
a receiver plate from a piece of 1/8" “lite-ply” and a piece of
3/4" wide balsa (not supplied). Glue the receiver plate (the
approximate size of the base of the receiver) to the balsa
block, then fit the block in the fuselage channel like you did
the servos. Mount the receiver to the plate with 1/4" of foam
in between the receiver and the plate. Make sure this
arrangement will clear the rear 1/4" wing dowel when it is
time to mount the fuselage channel to the fuselage.

1. Thread a nylon clevis onto a 1" threaded stud about
20 turns, then thread the other end of the threaded stud
about 1/2" into a 24" long
Inner Pushrod Tube
. Connect
the clevis to the control horn on the elevator. Route the
inner pushrod tube over the receiver and place it on top of
the elevator servo (middle servo) arm. Cut the inner
pushrod tube 7/8" short of the servo arm.
❏
2. Cut a 24"
Outer Pushrod Tube
2" shorter than the
inner pushrod and slide it over the tube. Thread another
clevis onto a threaded stud, then thread it into the inner
pushrod just the same as you did on the other end.
Temporarily connect the clevis to the servo.
