12. Apply 2–3 drop of thin CA in each of the holes
to harden the surrounding wood. This will help in
preventing the screws from vibrating loose.
13. Remove the servo horn from the servo. Use the
screws provided with the servo and a #1 Phillips
screwdriver to secure the servo in position.
14. Disconnect the clevis at the rudder control horn.
Insert the bend in the rudder pushrod in the hole
enlarged in Step 6 for the servo horn. With the
rudder servo centered, attach the servo horn on the
servo so it is perpendicular to the servo centerline.
Install the screw securing the horn to the servo using
a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
15. Repeat Steps 4 through 14 to install the 19-inch
(482mm) elevator pushrod.
16. With the servos plugged into the receiver
and the radio system on, center the sticks and
trims for the rudder and elevator. Use a straight
edge to make sure the elevator is aligned with the
stabilizer. Adjust the clevis on the elevator pushrod
as necessary so the elevator and stabilizer are in
alignment when the clevis is connected to the outer
hole of the elevator control horn. Check both the left
and right elevators. Once aligned, slide the silicone
clevis retainer over the forks of the clevis to prevent
it from opening accidentally in flight.
