19) Slide the Nylon Rudder Steering Clasp onto the bottom of
the rudder and onto the tailwheel wire at the same time. Locate
the clasp at the halfway point on the wire, and then drill a hole for
the M2 x 15mm Bolt. Insert the bolt through the hole and tighten
down the M2 Hex Nut to clamp the bracket in place.
❑
20) Look closely and you will find three holes pre-drilled near
the bottom of the rudder for mounting a nylon control horn. Install
the control horn on the left side of the rudder, with the retaining
plate on the right, using three M2 x 14mm screws.
❑
21) Look closely and you will find three holes pre-drilled in one
of the elevators for mounting a nylon control horn. Screw the con-
trol horn in position on the bottom of the right elevator using three
M2 x 14mm screws.
ELEVATOR & RUDDER CONTROLS
For this section you will need:
(1) Fuselage Assembly
(2) 35.5" long Wire Pushrods with M2 Hex Nut
(2) Metal RC Clevis
(2) small pieces of Fuel Tubing
(2) Pushrod Snap Keepers
(1) Radio Receiver (not furnished)
(2) Servos with Mounting Screws (not furnished)
❑
22) Install the rudder and elevator servos inside the fuselage in
the built-in plywood radio mounting tray. Note that the rudder
servo goes on the right side of the airplane, and the elevator servo
goes on the left side. (The servo opening in the center is for the
throttle servo in a glow installation.) Be sure to drill pilot holes
through the plywood tray for the mounting servo mounting screws.
❑
23) Mount your receiver in a place of your choosing. If using a
glow engine it is recommended that you wrap the receiver in foam
rubber to protect it from vibrations.
❑
24) If you are using a receiver battery pack, mount your on/off
switch in the fuselage side. Note that there are precut holes in
the fuselage sides, underneath the covering material, for either a
standard size switch or a super switch with built-in charging plug.
Cut away the covering over the hole that fits your switch and
mount using the screw supplied with your switch.
❑
25) Assemble and install the rudder pushrod.
a) First slide a small piece of Fuel Tubing onto the small end of
the Metal R/C Clevis. Next screw the Hex Nut that is on the
Pushrod Wire all the way up to the end of the threads. Then screw
the metal clevis halfway onto the threads.
b) Locate the precut pushrod exit hole for the rudder on the left
side of the fuselage at the back of the plane. Slide the pushrod
into the sleeve and attach the clevis to the control horn. Center
the rudder and hold it in place with a couple pieces of tape so it
cannot move.
c) Inside the fuselage, hold the pushrod wire over the rudder
servo output arm and mark the wire where it crosses over the
outer hole in the servo arm.
