❑
Slide one nylon pushrod snap-link onto one 17-3/4" long
pushrod wire, then make an L-Bend in the very end of the
wire, using needle nose pliers.
❑
Using a pair of needle nose pliers, carefully bend a "V"
shape in the wire, as shown. The middle of the "V" should be
7/8" in front of the L-Bend and the "V" shape should be
toward the L-Bend, as shown.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that when you bend the "V" shape
into the wire that the snap-link is between the L-Bend and the
"V" shape, as shown.
❑
Insert the L-Bend into the outermost hole in one nylon
control horn, so that the longer portion of the pushrod wire is
toward the right side of the control horn, and hook the
snap-link over the end of the wire.
☞
Positioning the longer portion of the wire on the right side
of the control horn will prevent the pushrod from binding when
it is installed.
❑
Carefully position the control horn so that the molded
pushrod attachment holes are lined up over the elevator hinge
line and angle the control horn toward the fuselage so it is
lined up with the pushrod wire.
❑
When satisfied with the alignment, gently push the
control horn down to make an impression of the control horn
mounting studs onto the elevator.
❑
Carefully slide the plain end of the pushrod wire (with the control horn still attached) into the nylon pushrod housing in
the right side of the fuselage.
❑
Using a 5/64" diameter drill bit, drill two holes through the
elevator at the two marks left by the control horn.
❑
With the control horn attached to the pushrod wire, firmly
push the control horn into place.
IMPORTANT
So the control doesn't come loose, it will be
glued to the elevator, but don't glue it into place yet. That will
be done later.
IMPORTANT
The "V" shaped bend is necessary to allow center-trim adjustments to the pushrod wire. Do not omit
this procedure.
