Step 3: Installing the Rudder Pushrod Assembly

❑

The rudder pushrod assembly is installed in the same

manner as the elevator pushrod assembly, although the
rudder pushrod exit slot should be cut in the left side of the
fuselage, 5/8" below the stabilizer and 2-3/4" in front of the
rudder hinge line. Also, the rudder control horn should be
installed 1-1/16" above the bottom of the rudder, perpendicular
to the rudder hinge line as shown.

❑

As with the elevator pushrod, the rudder pushrod should

be installed into the hole that is 1/4" out from the center of the
servo horn.

Step 4: Installing the Aileron Servo

❑

Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto the aileron servo mounting lugs.

❑

Using a ruler and a pencil, measure

back

2-1/2" from the

leading edge

of the wing (at the centerline) and draw a mark

at this location. Do this on the

top

of the wing.

❑

Place your aileron servo on

top

of the wing, aligning the

servo output shaft with the mark you drew.

❑

Center the servo over the wing's centerline and trace

around the base of the servo using a pencil.

❑

Using a modeling knife, carefully cut out the wing to accommodate your servo. Don't cut the hole too large, though.

The servo should fit tightly.

WARNING

For the servo mounting lugs to fit down against the top of the wing, you'll need to remove as much of the foam as possible
from the bottom of the servo cutout. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the wing!
