f) When finished adjusting the length of the pushrod,
tighten the M2 Hex Nut up against the back of each
clevis. To insure that the metal clevis can’t open up and
come loose from the horn, slide the short piece of fuel
tubing over the arms of the clevis.
❑
23) Install the rudder servo into the center servo slot of the
plywood tray at the back of the cabin area. The servo arm
should be towards the front of the tray. Secure the servo to the
tray using the hardware supplied with your servo. Center the
servo and install a double sided servo arm. We recommend the
Du-Bro
®
"Super Strength" servos arms, with the 1-3/4" double
arm for the rudder.
❑
24) At the rear of the fuselage, just in front of the servo
cutouts, you will find two oval holes in the frame that need to
have the covering cut free. These are the exit holes for the
pull-pull cables. Using a razor sharp blade cut out the covering
from the oval hole on each side.
❑
25) Locate the pull-pull cables and feed one into each hole
from the rear of the fuselage and pull them forward to the servo
tray area. Make sure they are clear of any of the support
structure inside the fuselage. Tape the loose ends of the two
cables to the rear of the fuselage to keep them from falling
inside.
❑
26) We will work on the servo ends of the pull-pull cables
first.
a) Run the end of one of the cables through a metal
pull-pull swage tube; then through the brass pull-pull
fitting; and then back through the swage tube again.
Leave about 1/4" outside the swage tube, and about 1/4"
between the swage tube and the end of the pull-pull
fitting, as shown. Use an ordinary pliers to crimp the
swage tube flat around the cable to secure it in place.
b) Screw a metal clevis onto the threaded end of the
pull-pull fitting. Screw it halfway onto the threads,
leaving room for adjusting in both directions. Then clip
the clevis into the outside hole on one side of the rudder
servo control arm.
NOTE:
Make sure you cross the
pull-pull cables over once from the tail to the servo. One
cable should go from the right side of the servo arm to
the left side of the rudder, and the other cable from the
left side of the servo to the right side of the rudder. This
gives the cables a straighter run from front to back.
c) Repeat steps a) and b) to finish the servo end of the
other rudder cable.
❑
27) Now we will finish the rudder end of the pull-pull cables.
a) First secure the rudder in neutral position using some
flat sticks taped along the sides of both surfaces (see
pic). Also make sure the rudder servo is also in neutral
centered position.
b) Slide a short piece of fuel tubing onto the shank of two
of metal clevises. Then screw the clevises halfway onto
the threaded end of the two remaining brass pull-pull
fittings.
c) Clip one of the clevis/pull-pull fittings into the outside
hole of each rudder control horn.
d) Now secure the rudder in neutral position using some
flat sticks taped along the sides of both surfaces (see
pic). Also make sure the rudder servo is also in neutral
centered position.
e) Next untape one of the pull-pull cables from the fuselage
and pull the cable out so it is tight from the rudder servo
arm. Slide the end of the cable through one of the metal
swage tubes; then through the hole in the brass pull-pull
fitting; then back through the swage tube. Slide the
