CONNECT THE ELEVATOR PUSHROD
❍
19. Make an “L” bend at the mark that crosses the servo arm.
Remove the servo arm from the servo. Use the plastic keeper to
secure the wire to the servo arm. You may need to enlarge the holes
in the servo arms slightly to allow the wire to pass through the arm
without binding.
POSITION THE RUDDER CONTROL HORN
❍
20. Attach a control horn to the rudder servo. Mark the two arms
that are 90° to the servo. Remove the arm and trim off the remaining
arms. Attach a pushrod connector to the arm that will be closest to
the fuselage side. The connector should be around 9/16" (14mm)
from the center of the servo arm.
CONNECT THE RUDDER PUSHROD
❍
21. Hold the rudder in its neutral position, and mark the pushrod
wire where it crosses the servo arm using a felt-tip pen. Cut off the
pushrods approximately 3/8" (10mm) past the mark. Removing the
pushrods will make this and the next step easier. Make an “L” bend
at the mark that crosses the servo arm. Remove the servo arm from
the servo. Attach the rod to the servo arm. Use the plastic keeper to
secure the wire to the servo arm. You may need to enlarge the holes
in the servo arms slightly to allow the wire to pass through the arm.
Doesn’t this sound like the same procedure as the elevator control
horn too?
CONNECT THE STEERING PUSHROD
❍
22. Slide the steering pushrod wire though the Screw-Lock
Pushrod Connector. With the rudder servo in its neutral position,
center the nose wheel so that the airplane will be able to taxi forward
in a straight line. Secure the pushrod into position by tightening the
screw on the connector.
CONNECT THE THROTTLE PUSHROD
❍
23. With the radio system on, place the throttle stick and the trim
in the center or neutral position. Attach a servo arm to the throttle
servo so that it is parallel to the servo. Remove the arm and trim off
any remaining arms to match the arm in the photo. Install a pushrod
connector into the servo arm as shown in the photo. Pass the throttle
pushrod wire through the connector and attach the arm to the servo
using the screw that was provided with the servo. Position the
carburetor to roughly half open and hand-tighten the screw on the
connector. Final adjustment of the throttle will be made later in the
manual.
Remember to turn off the radio system to prevent draining
the batteries.
INSTALL THE AILERON SERVO
❍
24. After preparing the servo with grommets and bushings, install
the aileron servo, passing the servo lead between the servo tray and
the wing. With the servo centered, install the servo horn as shown in
the photo. If you don’t have a 6-star horn, use a large wheel for this
servo. We will be doing something a little different than you have
seen before.
