5. Cut three 1/4" (6.4mm) long 

guide tubes

from the 

6-1/2" long white plastic tube. Slide the guide tubes over the
forward pushrod.

❏ ❏

6. 1/2" (12.7mm) from the end of the forward pushrod,

make a slight bend. Slide the pushrod half-way into one of
the 1/16" x 2" (1.6mm x 50.8mm) aluminum 

pushrod

adjusters

. The bend should cause the pushrod to fit tight in

the pushrod adjuster.

❏ ❏

7. Insert the Z-bend of the forward pushrod in the rudder

servo arm and the Z-bend of the aft pushrod in the inner hole
of the rudder control horn.

❏ ❏

8. With the rudder servo arm and rudder centered, lay

the aft pushrod over the pushrod adjuster. Mark the aft
pushrod approximately 1/4" (6.3mm) back from the center
of the pushrod adjuster.

❏ ❏

9. Remove the aft pushrod from the control horn and cut

it at the mark. Make a slight bend in the end of the pushrod so
that it fits tightly in the pushrod adjuster. 

❏ ❏

10. Remove the servo arm and forward pushrod from the

rudder servo. Insert the aft pushrod in the pushrod adjuster.

❏ ❏

11. Reinstall the aft pushrod in the rudder control horn.

Insert the forward pushrod in the servo arm and install it on
the rudder servo. 

❏ ❏

12. With the rudder servo arm centered, slide the forward

or aft pushrod in the pushrod adjuster so that the rudder 
is centered. 

❏ ❏

13. Glue the three guide tubes to the side of the

fuselage. One should be in front of the stabilizer, the second
tube should be approximately 2" aft of the wing pylon and
the third tube should be centered between the first two. 

14. Return to step 3 and install the elevator pushrod

following the same procedure.
