Step 1: Installing the Throttle Pushrod Wire
❑
Slide the pushrod wire through the predrilled hole in
the firewall.
❑
Reinstall the throttle arm onto your engine.
IMPORTANT
So that the pushrod wire doesn't bind, you
may need to make a bend in the pushrod wire so that it lines
up better with your engine's throttle arm.
❑
Remove the throttle arm from your engine and install the Z-Bend in the pushrod wire into the outermost hole in the
throttle arm.
☞
You may need to enlarge the hole in your engine's throttle arm using a 5/64" diameter drill bit.
Step 2: Installing the Adjustable Servo Connector
❑
Enlarge the
third hole
out from the center of the servo
arm using a 5/64" drill bit.
❑
Install the adjustable servo connector into the servo arm.
IMPORTANT
When threading on the connector nut, don't
tighten the nut completely. You don't want the connector loose,
but you do want it to be able to rotate without binding.
❑
To prevent the connector nut from loosening during flight, apply a drop of thin C/A to it. Allow the C/A to dry before
proceeding.
❑
Connect your radio system and plug the throttle servo into the receiver. Check to ensure that the throttle servo
output shaft is rotating in the correct direction. When the throttle control stick is moved forward, from the idle to the full
throttle position, the servo output shaft should rotate counter-clockwise. If it doesn't, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter.
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away all but one arm from a small "4-point" servo horn.
