adhesive should be removed. Let the control horn adhesive setup undisturbed before
proceeding.

Using a receiver or servo driver, find servo neutral and attach a suitable single sided servo
arm perpendicular to the servo making sure to tighten the servo arm screw.

Assemble the elevator linkage; the linkage should measure 3.45” (88 mm) in length from
center to center of the ball link and clevis.

The clevis should be connected to the hole in the horn that is ¾” (19 mm) from center of the
spline. Make sure to use keepers on the clevis. If using the ball link on the control horn
end, make sure to use the ny-lok type nut on the bolt.

Note: you may need to enlarge the hole in the control horn with a .118” (3 mm) drill for the
connecting bolt, do not oversize the hole as this will lead to linkage slop. Do not over
tighten this bolt as it could cause linkage binding.

Trial fit the horizontal stabilizers to the fuselage; checking the fit of the securement bolt.

Check operation of the elevators to make sure that there is no binding.
Step 11: Equipment Installation
There are many possibilities for mounting equipment into your airframe and it is up to the builder to
determine the best installation technique for their application.
The pneumatic retract system in the model used to write this manual was operated utilizing the
optional Electronic valves. The dual action valve operates the retracts, and the single action valve
operates the brakes. The receiver is positioned on the main tray with the electronic pneumatic
valve equipment mounted directly below the main tray on the fuselage floor.
The layout of components is shown in the photo. This arrangement allows easy access, provides
good separation between the turbine and receiver electronics and sits low enough for the cockpit
to easily fit on top.
Addition component locations for ancillary devices such as the ECU, fuel shut off valve, etc. to name
a few can be accomplished using mounting plates glued to the fuselage in positions where space
allows.
Now is a good time to complete installation of all servo extensions, airlines and turbine electronics
through the fuselage.
The prototype used airline fitting supplied with the kit mounted in the wing root area of the fuselage,
the airline connectors from the wing were left loose in the wing to allow connection to the ridged
mounted fuselage connectors.
