2. Enlarge the outer hole of a control horn using a 3/64"

[1.2mm] drill bit. Install this control horn onto the left side of
the  rudder. Enlarge the inner hole (closest to the control
horn base) of another control horn and install it on the
bottom of the right elevator half.

3. Use your radio system to center the elevator and rudder

servos. Cut three arms from two four-arm servo horns and
install them onto the elevator and rudder servos, both pointing
downward. Enlarge the outer holes of the servo horns with a
3/64" [1.2mm] drill bit.

4. Hook the remaining two 2-7/8" [73mm] pushrods onto

the inner hole of the elevator control horn and outer hole of
the rudder control horn. Slide the two pushrod supports onto
the 11-1/8" [282mm] pushrods and connect the pushrods
onto the outer holes of the elevator and rudder servo horns.
If necessary, enlarge the holes in the pushrod supports to
prevent binding. Join them together with a 1" [25mm] piece
of heat-shrink tubing while centering the control surfaces.
Apply a drop of CA to the ends of the heat-shrink tubing.

5. Position the pushrod supports in the middle of the

pushrods and lightly press them into the fuse creating
indentations in the foam. Use a sharp hobby knife to cut a
hole in the foam at the indentations you made. Insert the
pushrod supports into the holes and glue them in place. Be
sure that the position of the pushrod supports do not cause
the pushrods to bind.

Consult the directions that came with the ElectriFly ESC for
proper operation.

1. Cut a piece of the included double-sided tape to fit your

receiver and stick it to the underside of the receiver case.
Connect the aileron, rudder, and elevator servos to the
receiver. Connect the ESC to the receiver. Feed the ESC
motor leads through the hole in the fuse and connect them
to the motor. Peel the backing from the double-sided tape
and secure the receiver to the fuse in the location shown in
the picture. Secure the ESC to the fuse as far forward as it
will go with double-sided tape.
