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.

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.
