21. Slide the crimp as close to the pull-pull fitting as
possible. This will keep the setting on the cables. Carefully
remove the fittings from the pushrod connector and use
crimping pliers to secure the position of the crimps. Trim any
excess cable using side cutters. Place the fittings back in the
connector and tighten the screw in the connector to secure
the fittings. Use threadlock on the screw to prevent it from
vibrating loose.
Important
: It may be necessary to check the tension
of the cables periodically as they can stretch over
time. Also use the connectors and fittings to adjust the
steering if you find your model does not taxi straight
down the runway.
