SECTION 10: INSTALLING THE AILERON PUSHRODS
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING SUPPLIES:
❑
5/64" Drill Bit
❑
Ruler
❑
Pencil
❑
Masking Tape
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS:
❑
{2} 1.5mm x 85mm Pushrod Wires
❑
{2} Nylon Control Horns w/Backplates
❑
{2} Nylon Clevises
❑
{4} 2mm x 16mm Machine Screws
❑
{1} Clevis Retainer Tubing
Step 1: Installing the Control Horns
IMPORTANT
The aileron pushrods are installed using the same technique as the elevator and rudder pushrods. There are only minor
differences which are noted.
❑
Using a ruler and a pencil, measure out 3-3/8" from the inside edge of one aileron, at the hinge line, and draw a mark.
❑
Install the control horn onto the aileron using the same
technique as with the elevator and rudder.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the control horn is mounted perpendicular to
the hinge line and that the holes in the control horn are even
with the hinge line.
Step 2: Installing the Pushrods
❑
Using a modeling knife, remove all but one arm from a small "4-point" servo horn. The remaining arm should
have at least four holes in it.
❑
Insert the Z-Bend in one pushrod wire into the fourth hole out from the center of the arm.
☛
You will have to enlarge the hole using a 1/16" drill bit so the pushrod will fit properly.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the longer portion of the pushrod wire is toward the top of the servo arm.
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to install the second control horn onto the other aileron.
