❑
Partially thread the 3mm x 8mm set screws into the wheel collars. Slide the wheel collars onto the elevator pushrod
wire and up against the snap keeper.
❑
Make a shallow bend 1-1/2" from the plain end of the
13-1/2" long pushrod wire and slide the pushrod wire through
the wheel collars as shown. The bend should be deep enough
to separate the pushrod wires by 1/2".
❑
Adjust the pushrod wire so both pushrod ends are even
with each other. When satisfied with the alignment, tighten
the set screws in both wheel collars.
☞
When tightening the set screws, make sure both pushrods
stay flat and don't twist up.
❑
Carefully slide the pushrod wires into the preinstalled
pushrod housings in the rear bulkhead - the two that are higher
up in the fuselage and are at the same height as the servo.
❑
Install the servo horn, making sure it's centered and
pointing toward the middle of the fuselage as shown.
❑
Install the servo horn retaining screw to secure the servo
horn to the servo.
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering material from over the elevator pushrod exit holes in each
side of the fuselage. They are located 5-1/4" in front of the rudder hinge line and 1-7/8" above the bottom of the fuselage.
❑
Connect your radio system and plug the elevator servo (rear-most servo) into the receiver. Double-check that the
elevator trim lever on your transmitter is centered.
Step 2: Installing the Elevator Pushrod Assembly
Step 3: Installing the Control Horns & Clevises
❑
Use a couple of pieces of masking tape to hold the elevator halves centered.
❑
Position one nylon control horn onto the bottom of one
elevator half, aligning the centerline of the control horn with
the pushrod wire. The centerline of the control horn should
be approximately 7/8" out from the side of the fuselage.
❑
Angle the control horn about 1/16" toward the fuselage
side so it will line up better with the pushrod wire and adjust the
control horn so that the clevis attachment holes are directly
over the hinge line.
❑
Mark the positions of the control horn mounting screws, then remove the control horn and set it aside.
❑
Drill the holes through the elevator for the mounting screws using a 5/64" diameter drill bit.
