4. Center the servo arm on the elevator servo and trim off
the three extra arms. Use foam safe CA to glue the elevator
servo to the elevator servo offset.
❏
5. Install the pre-assembled elevator pushrod by inserting
the pushrod guides through the fuselage as shown. DO NOT
glue the pushrod guides in place at this time.
❏
6. Remove the elevator servo arm and insert the z-bend
into the outer hole of the arm. Note: If you are not using a
computer radio, and do not wish to set your model up with
3D control throws, you will need to insert the z-bend in a hole
closer to the servo. The z-bend should be installed so that
the pushrod is on the back side of the servo arm, closest to
the fuselage. Center the servo and reinstall the servo arm
onto the servo, securing it with the servo screw.
❏
7. Insert the z-bend in the elevator control horn. Insert
the control horn in the slot in the elevator. The notch in the
control horn should slide over the carbon fi ber strip in the
elevator. If the control horn will not fi t over the carbon fi ber
strip, use a sharp hobby knife to remove the excess glue
from the slot. DO NOT glue the horn in yet.
❏
8. With the transmitter and receiver switched on and the
elevator servo centered, make sure that the elevator control
horn is seated against the elevator. Check that the elevators
are centered. If they are not, you will need to adjust the
length of the z-bend.
PUSHROD LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
For your convenience, the
aileron and elevator
pushrods have been pre-
assembled. If you are not
using a Futaba S3114
servo, or due to
manufacturing tolerances,
it may be necessary to
change the pushrod
length. This may be done
by holding the heat shrink
tubing that connects the
pushrod to the z-bend and
gently rotating the z-bend
until the glue holding the
z-bend breaks loose.
Then, adjust the length by
pulling or pushing the
z-bend until the appropriate
length is achieved. Re-
glue the z-bend to the
pushrod using a drop of
thin CA. Be careful that
the CA does not run down
the pushrod and into the
pushrod guides.
❏
9. Once the elevator is centered, apply a bead of foam
safe CA along the joint between the elevator control horn
and the elevator.
