2. Gather the four pushrods, threaded couplers, clevises,
and clevis retainers as shown in the above photograph.
❏
3. Prepare the pushrods for assembly by sanding or filing
one end of each pushrod. Use silver solder to attach the
threaded couplers to the end you have sanded on each of
the four pushrods. Follow the instructions with the silver
solder carefully.
❏
4. Place a clevis and clevis retainer on each of the pushrods
as shown.
❏
5. Insert the rudder and elevator pushrods into the slot in
the tail boom. Snap the clevis onto the elevator and rudder
control horns as shown in the photograph above.
❏
6. Position the rudder so that it is directly aligned with the
fin. As indicated in the photograph above, place a bend in
the pushrod in the location shown. Again, make sure that
the fin is in exact alignment and make a “Z” bend in the
pushrod where the pushrod meets the holes in the centered
servo arm. Repeat this process for the elevator pushrod.
❏
7. Use the same procedure to connect the aileron pushrods.
Your completed assembly should look the same as shown in
the preceding photographs.
