❑
Test-fit the two servos into the radio tray. If the servos
are too large to fit, use a modeling knife to enlarge the hole in
the radio tray to accommodate the servos.
☞
Both of the servos' output shafts should face toward the
front of the fuselage.
❑
Mount the servos using the servo mounting screws provided with your servos. To make it easier to install the screws,
use the tip of your modeling knife to make small pilot holes in the radio tray.
Step 2: Installing the Nylon Control Horns
❑
Using a 1/8" drill bit, carefully drill the elevator and rudder pushrod exit holes through the back of the molded fairings
in the sides of the fuselage.
❑
Using a ruler and a pencil, measure out 3/8" from the inside edge of the
right
elevator half (at the hinge line) and draw
a mark on the bottom of the elevator.
☞
This mark is how far out the nylon control horn needs to be installed on the elevator.
❑
Use a pencil to mark the location and size of the slot that
needs to be cut through the elevator to install the nylon
control horn. To make this easy, use the control horn backplate
as a guide as shown.
☞
So the control horn lines up properly with the pushrod,
the slot needs to be angled slightly toward the fuselage side.
❑
Using a modeling knife, carefully cut a slot through the elevator only large enough for the tip of the control horn to be
pushed through.
❑
From the top of the elevator, push the control horn up through the slot. When in place, the tip of the control horn should
face the
bottom
of the elevator.
❑
Making sure that the
flat portion
of the control horn
backplate faces
away
from the elevator, push the backplate
over the end of the control horn until you hear it "click" firmly
into place.
☞
Because the elevator is thick, we cut a recess in the
elevator so that the backplate could be attached without
crushing the foam.
