2. Install the elevator, rudder and throttle servos as indicated

on the plans with the hardware supplied by the
manufacturer. Make sure you use thin CA in the servo screw
holes in the balsa rails.

3. Locate the die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] balsa pushrod support

(PS). Insert the elevators and rudder plastic outer pushrod
into the holes in the balsa pushrod support as indicated
above. Push PS against former F4 and move it up or down
until the plastic outer pushrods are at the same height as
the servo arms. Glue the pushrod support in place with CA.

4. Locate three 2-56 x 36" [914mm] threaded one end

pushrods. Cut one of them 24-1/4" [616mm] from the
threaded end, another at 22-1/4" [565mm] from the
threaded end and the last one at 23-3/4" [603mm] from the
threaded end. Bend the wires as indicated in the above image.

5. Center the servos and position the servo arms as

shown in the photo. Insert the 24-1/4" [616mm] wire into the
plastic outer pushrod in the center (elevator). Insert the 
23-3/4" [603mm] pushrod wire into the right plastic outer
pushrod (rudder). Insert the last pushrod wire (22-1/4"
[565mm]) in the left plastic outer pushrod (other elevator).
Locate two 5/32" [4mm] wheel collars and two 6-32 x 1/4"
[6.4mm] SHCS and attach the elevator pushrods as shown
above. Locate two nylon FasLinks and install them on the
elevator and rudder pushrods and servo arms.

6. Install the two aileron servos as shown on the plans

using the hardware supplied by the manufacturer. Apply thin
CA to the screw holes in the servo tray.
