❑
Install the control horn and backplate using two 2mm x 12mm machine screws, being careful not to overtighten them.
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to install the second control horn and backplate on the other elevator half.
❑
Thread the clevises onto the pushrod wires and snap them
into the third hole out from the base of the control horns.
☞
Hold the pushrod wires with a pair of pliers to prevent
them from turning while installing the clevises.
❑
With both elevator halves and the elevator servo horn
centered, double-check that the set screws in the wheel
collars are tight.
VERY IMPORTANT
After you tighten the set screws, apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the threads. This will prevent the screws from
loosening during flight. Do not omit this procedure or failure of the elevator control system could result!
