e) Mounting the Rudder Linkage
Then hook the “Z” of the elevator linkage (1) into the rudder horn (2) and mount it
on the dampening fin (3) as shown in figure 7, item 4.
f) Mounting the Rudder and Elevator Linkage in the Fuselage
Mount the servo holders for the servo for the rudder (1) and elevator (2).
Mount one linkage connection from the delivery to each of the rudder horns, as
shown in figure 8, item 3.
When installing the linkage connection, ensure that the rudder horn can move
freely when a servo is operated.
Guide the rods from the rudder and elevator through the holes of the linkage
connections.
Shorten them with the servos set to neutral (servo lever at a 90° angle to the
servo housing) and neutrally aligned rudder flaps.
Fasten the rods with the screws on the (top of the) rod connections.
g) Mounting the Aileron and Aileron Linkage
Glue the rudder hinges to the ailerons with a drop of superglue and then to the
wings as already done for the elevator (also see figure 3, item 1).
An aileron servo must be installed in either wing half. For this, glue one servo
each to either of the two servo shaft covers, as shown in figure 9, item 1. Observe
that the rudder horn of the servo is at a 90° angle to the servo housing when the
transmitter is set to neutral (try out first if applicable).
Remove the iron-on film from the rib of every wing (feel for the slot) and guide the
servo cable from the servo shaft through the opening just created (2).
Then screw on the servo shaft cover with the servo (1) in the frame intended for
this with thread-cutting screws 2 x 6 mm.
Mount one rudder horn each on either thrust rod from the delivery. Connect the
other end of the thrust rods to the rudder horns of the aileron servos (3).
Mount a rudder horn to either aileron, as already shown for mounting to the rudder
or elevator.
