Secure each aileron in a neutral position with masking tape. Line up each pushrod beside its mating nylon horn
bracket, place a mark on each pushrod at the pushrod opening in the nylon horn bracket, and make a sharp 90-
degree bend in each pushrod at this mark.

Leaving approx. 3/16 to 1/4 inch of pushrod
wire after the bend, cut off and discard the
remaining, excess pushrod wire. Insert each
pushrod’s bent end into its mating opening in
each of the nylon horn brackets. Use a plastic
pushrod keeper to secure each aileron
pushrod/nylon horn bracket connection.
Remove and discard the masking tape from
each of the ailerons.

If the pushrod(s) did not get bent at
exactly the right place and one or
both of the pushrods is too long,
fine-tune the length of the too-long
pushrod with a series of three small
bends.
