8. Use a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill

bit to drill the two locations for the control horn

mounting screws. The locations have been pre-

drilled at the factory.

9. Secure the control horn to the rudder using two

2mm x 12mm sheet metal screws and a control

horn backplate. Tighten the screws using a #1

Phillips screwdriver.

10. Use a square or straight edge to make sure

the rudder is in alignment with the fin. The clevis

attaches to the outer hole on the control horn.

Adjust the clevis as necessary so the rudder is

aligned with the fin when the rudder servo is

centered. Once aligned, use needle nose pliers to

tighten the nut against the clevis to keep it from

vibrating loose.

11. Repeat steps 3 through 10 to connect

the elevator pushrod wire. The positions and

measurements for the elevator connections are the

same as the rudder.

12. Use hook and loop tape to install the receiver in

the fuselage. Connect the rudder and elevator servo

to the receiver. Secure the remote receiver in the

fuselage using hook and loop tape.

When flying in extreme High-G racing, it may

be a good idea to use a tie-wrap (not included)

to secure the position of the receiver.
