Step 21.
Insert the Z-bend into the servo arm. It may be
necessary to enlarge the servo arm hole slightly to accept the
Z-bend.
Elevator Pushrod
Step 22.
Carefully cut away the plastic on the right side of the
fuselage where the elevator pushrod will exit.
Step 23.
Repeat Steps 7-21 in this section to assemble the
elevator pushrod.
Step 24.
Insert the pushrod assembly, threaded rod first, into
the fuselage so the threaded rod exits the elevator pushrod slot.
Step 25.
Screw on a clevis 12 complete turns. Fasten the clevis
in the third hole from the inside of the elevator control horn.
Note:
It’s a good idea to place a piece of fuel tubing over the
clevis as extra insurance to prevent the clevis from
accidentally coming open.
Step 26.
Center the elevator servo and, using a felt tipped pen,
place a mark on the pushrod where it passes the respective
servo arm.
Step 27.
Using Z-bend pliers, make a Z-bend at the marked
location on the rod. Cut off the excess rod.
Throttle Linkage
Step 28.
Locate one of the longer ( 17-3/4
′′
) threaded rods and
one clevis.
Step 29.
Screw the clevis onto the threaded end of the rod
approximately 12 turns.
Step 30.
Insert the threaded rod, unthreaded end first, through
the 1/16
′′
throttle linkage hole in the firewall. The rod should
exit through the radio tray compartment.
Step 31.
Attach the clevis to the throttle lever of the carburetor,
opening the carburetor half way.
Step 32.
Center the throttle servo. Using a felt tipped pen, mark
the rod where it passes the respective servo arm.
Note:
It is important to be sure the carburetor remains half
open when the throttle servo is centered.
