Step 11

Remove the pushrod wire from the fuselage and remove

the clevis. Bend the pushrod wire at the mark. Slide

the pushrod back into the fuselage from the radio

compartment, and then put the clevis back onto the

wire. Use a pushrod wire keeper to secure the pushrod

wire to the servo arm.

Step 12

Check the movement of the throttle to verify there is no

binding at either low or high throttle. If there is, make the

necessary adjustment to eliminate any binding. Install the

throttle servo arm screw when complete.

", from one

end. The holes must be parallel to each other.

Step 14

Cut a groove into the pushrod from the hole to the end

of the pushrod. Repeat for the opposite side so you end

up with two grooves. The elevator pushrod wires will

rest in these grooves.

Step 15

Locate the two 7

" pushrod wires. Make a bend in one

wire 1/4" from the non-threaded end of one of the wires.

The remaining pushrod is bent 1/2" from the end.

Step 16

Test fit the two wires. The wire bent at 1/2" is placed in

the hole closest to the pushrod end. You will have to

trim the wire down after the bend so it won’t interfere

with the other pushrod. Once fit, use medium CA to

glue the wires to the dowel.
