17. After the radio and battery have been installed it is
recommended that you place another small piece of foam on
top of the receiver and then hold the receiver in place with a
balsa stick (not included) as shown in the photograph.
❏
18. Cut away the covering where the pushrods exit the
fuselage. Install the two 36" [900mm] solid wire pushrods into
the plastic outer pushrod tubes. Be sure the threaded end of
the pushrod exits at the rear of the fuselage.
❏
19. Install a silicone clevis keeper onto the threaded end
of the rod. Install a clevis onto the threaded end of the rod
by turning the clevis onto the threads 14 turns.
❏
20. Locate one of the nylon control horns and the control
horn mounting plate. Position the control horn on the left side
of the rudder, in line with the solid wire pushrod, centering the
control horn on the hinge line as shown in the above diagram.
❏
21. Mark the location of the screw holes for the control
horn. Drill a hole through the marks with a 1/16" [1.6mm] drill.
❏
22. Install the control horn with two 2-56 screws. The
screws should pass through the horn and the rudder, then
screw into the control horn mounting plate on the opposite
side of the rudder.
❏
23. Attach the clevis to the outermost hole in the horn,
then slide the silicone retainer over the clevis. Repeat this for
the elevator control horn.
❏
24. Turn on your radio and receiver. Center the servos
and then install the servo arms as shown.
❏
25. Center the elevator. Make a mark on the solid wire
pushrod where it lines up with the hole in the servo arm.
Make a 90-degree bend at the mark. Cut the rod above the
bend to a length of 3/16" [4.8mm].
❏
26. Install the rod into the hole in the servo arm and then
attach a Faslink to hold the pushrod to the servo arm.
❏
27. Turn on the transmitter and receiver. Set the throttle to
full open. Install the braided cable into the screw-lock
connector, then open the carburetor on your engine to full
open. Insert the screw-lock connector into the outermost hole
in the servo arm following the same installation instructions
as you used attaching the cable to the throttle barrel during
the engine installation. Cut the excess cable with a sharp
wire cutter. Turn off the radio system when this is completed.
