   the tailwheel horn.  

 

ELEVATOR & RUDDER CONTROLS 

      For this section you will need: 

      (1)     Fuselage Assembly 
      (1)     Elevator Pushrod with M2 Hex Nut 
      (1)     Metal RC Clevis 
      (1)     Small pieces of Fuel Tubing 
      (1)     Pull-Pull Rudder Kit 
      (1)     Pushrod Snap Keepers 
      (1)     Radio Receiver (not furnished) 
      (1)     2” Double Servo Arm (not furnished) 
      (2)     Servos with Mounting Screws (not furnished) 

❑  

20) Install  the  elevator  servo  inside  the  fuselage  in  the  built-in 

            plywood radio mounting tray.  Note that the elevator servo goes 
            on the left side with the output shaft to the front of the fuselage. 

             (The servo openings in the front of the tray are for  the  throttle 
             servo in a glow engine installation.)  Be sure to  drill  pilot  holes 
            through  the  plywood  tray  for  the  mounting  servo  mounting 
            screws. 
 

❑ 

21) 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 (not furnished) to protect it from vibrations. 
 

❑ 

22) If you are using a receiver battery pack (some electric powered 

           setups don't), 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 screws supplied with your switch. 
   

❑ 

23) Assemble and install the elevator 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 pre-cut upper pushrod exit hole for  the  elevator  on 
   the right side of the fuselage. Slide the end of the  pushrod  wire 
   (without the clevis) into the  exit  hole  and  inside  the  pushrod 
   sleeve built into the fuselage.  Slide it in  until  you  can  clip  the 
   clevis into the middle hole of the control horn.  Lock the elevator 
   in neutral position with a piece of masking tape. 
 

c)

 

   Inside the  fuselage,  hold  the  pushrod  wire  over  the  elevator 
   servo output arm and mark the wire where   it  crosses  over  the 
   outer hole in the arm.  Make sure the servo is in neutral  position. 

 

 

d)

 

  Unclip the clevis from the elevator control horn so that  you  can 
  now pull as much  of  the  wire  pushrod  forward  into the  radio 
  compartment  as  possible, to  make  it easier to finish the  servo 
  end of the pushrod.  Mark and cut the servo end of the  pushrod 
  wire 1/4"  past  the  mark  you made in the last step.  Then use a 
  pliers to put a 90-degree bend in the wire at the mark. 

 

e)

 

  With the pushrod still disconnected from the rudder, remove the 
  servo arm from the  servo.   Install  the  servo  arm  and  a  nylon 
  pushrod snap keeper on the end of the pushrod, as shown. Then 
  re-install the servo arm on the servo.
