

 

10. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to cut a 1/4-

inch (6mm) piece from the safety tubing.



 

11. Slide the safety tubing on the nylon clevis. Turn 

on the radio system and center the aileron stick and trim. 

This will center the aileron servo. Thread the nylon clevis 

on the pushrod. Thread the clevis on enough so the aileron 

is centered when the clevis is connected to the center hole 

of the control horn shown below. Once set, slide the safety 

tubing over the forks of the clevis to keep the clevis from 

opening accidentally.

Attach clevis

to this hole



 

12. Check the operation of the aileron using the radio 

system. If you find the pushrod or servo horn binding on the 

servo cover, use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to slightly 

trim the cover to eliminate this binding.

 

13. Repeat steps 1 through 12 to install the remaining 

aileron control horn and linkage.

 

14. Remember to turn off the radio system at this time to 

avoid running the batteries down.
