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.
