6) Slide the unbent end of the pushrod wire inside the plastic
outer sleeve, starting from the servo end. As the plain end of the
wire exits the firewall, insert it into the pushrod connector on the
steering arm.

7) Point the nose wheel straight ahead, check that the rudder
servo is in neutral position, and then tighten the set screw in the
pushrod connector on the steering arm.

8) Plug the rudder servo into the receiver and test the operation 
of the nose gear.

If you sense any binding in the nose gear 

movement, find the cause and fix it now.

NOTE: The exact amount of nose wheel travel is not as critical as
the other flight control surfaces will be. A good rule of thumb,
especially for new pilots, is that less travel of the nose wheel is 
better than more!  You do not need any more than 10

RUDDER PUSHROD
Locate the following parts from the kit contents:

❑

(1) Nylon Control Horn

❑

(1) Nylon Control Horn Retainer

❑

(2) M2 x 12mm Bolts, for control horn

❑

(1) 1/8” O.D. x 38” Nylon Pushrod Tube

❑

(2) 2-56 x 10” Threaded Rods

❑

(2) Nylon R/C Links

1) Hold the Nylon Control Horn in position on the left side of the
rudder and mark the location of the mounting holes. Drill pilot
holes through the rudder with a 1/16" dia. drill bit (turn the bit with
your fingers or a pin vise - a power drill is not necessary).

2) Mount the Control Horn onto the rudder with the Retainer Plate
and Bolts.

3) Cut one of the 10" Threaded Rods to 5" overall length. Cut the
plain end of the rod, not the threaded end!

4) Coat all of the unthreaded portion of the 5” rod with a very thin
layer of epoxy glue, and then proceed immediately to the next step
before the glue dries.

5) Slide the glue coated end of the 5" threaded rod inside the 1/8”
O.D. x 38” Nylon Pushrod Tube, all the way up to the beginning of
the threads. Now get a good grip on the threaded portion of the
rod, and start screwing the threads into the tubing. Keep turning
the rod until at least 3/16" of threads are inside the nylon tubing.
Wipe off any excess epoxy glue, and set the assembly aside to dry.

NOTE: If you need to hold onto the threaded portion of the rod with
a pliers in order to screw it in, use a cloth between the rod and the
jaws of your pliers to avoid damaging the threads.

6) After the glue dries, screw a nylon R/C Link halfway onto the
exposed threads of the steel rod.
