  10. Pass the Z-bend in the 1mm x 180mm pushrod 

through the outer hole of the aileron control horn.

Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners 

to prevent them from vibrating loose.



  11. The pushrod wire will pass through the hole in 

the micro screw-lock connector. With the aileron 

and aileron servo centered, use side cutters to 

trim the pushrod so it is 1/4 inch (6mm) past the 

connector as shown. Pass pushrod through micro 

screw-lock connector. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver 

to tighten the screw in the connector to secure the 

pushrod wire.

Use a small piece of low-tack tape to hold the aileron 

in position when installing the linkage. Remove 

the tape once the linkage has been installed.

  12. Repeat steps 1 through 11 to install the remaining 

aileron servo and pushrod.

is held in position using tabs that key into the fuselage.

  2. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a servo 

mounting screw into each of the holes to cut threads 

in the surrounding wood. Remove the screw before 

moving to the next step. Prepare all four mounting
