-inch
(500mm) pushrod wire.
11. Insert the pushrod wire into the outside hole of
the control horn. Slide the rudder pushrod in the
hole of the pushrod connector. Use pliers to open
the pushrod keeper just enough to slip it over the
bend of the pushrod wire so it secures the pushrod
wire to the control horn. Don’t open the connector
too far as it could possibly break the connector.
12. Center the rudder and the rudder servo. Use a
2mm x 4mm machine screw to secure the pushrod
wires in the pushrod connector. Use a #1 Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the screw. Use side cutters
to trim the excess length of the pushrod wire so it
does not interfere with the operation of the servo.
