" piece of heat shrink over the wires and

dowel. Use a heat gun or lighter to shrink the tubing. Once

the tubing has been shrunk, apply thin CA to each end of

the shrink to complete this part of the pushrod assembly.

Step 18

Repeat Steps 13 through 17 for the opposite end of

the dowel, but only drill one hole and prepare one 6"

pushrod wire.

Step 19

Slide the elevator pushrod wire in position into the

fuselage. It may take some time to get it in, so be

patient. Slide a clevis retainer onto two clevises, and

then thread them onto the pushrod wires at the aft end

of the fuselage. This will prevent the pushrod wire from

falling out of the fuselage.

Step 20

Plug the necessary servo leads into the receiver. This

includes the switch harness and battery leads as well.

Install the flat radio foam into the fuselage, followed by the

die-cut foam. Place the receiver and battery into the foam.

Note: There is a tube located under the

elevator servo for the antenna wire. Route the

wire through this tube to the tail of the aircraft.

Step 21

Place the remaining flat radio foam over the receiver and

battery. Secure the foam to prevent the receiver and battery

from moving from their location. Mount the receiver

switch to the side of the fuselage.
