If using braided steel wire:
Be attentive to forcefully bend the loop exactly where needed, with square angles to avoid the wire’s springiness
introducing slop in the control, leading to a loss of precision during launch and preset mode. Use the providen steel
sleeves to crimp the loops.
Knots on steel braid are not suitable!
The wires are threaded in from the back of the fuselage, through the already prepared slot on the elevator’s mount for
the elevator, and through a hole to be made for the rudder line.
For the rudder line hole, there are two options: either at the end of the boom, through the fitted section of the boom on
the rudder, or earlier near the elevator’s mount on the side. In this last case, Use a 1.5mm drill bit and make the hole
oval by angling the bit to avoid any kind of friction of the cable against the fuselage. Prefer to drill it in the pod length,
5mm behind the pod’s leading edge and not in the boom itself.
You can secure the hole with thin CA and pass the bit it again to deburr the abrasive carbon fibers, or insert and glue a
little piece of electric wire hard insulation to prevent from any hazardous friction (using nylon fishing braid). For the steel
braid wire, there’s no particular scare to have on this point.
With both servos set to neutral, lock the control surfaces in place with the horn at + 2 mm with tape with the spring
installed and under compression.
