Great Planes Cessna 182 Skylane 40 ARF - GPMA1228 - Manual (Page 17)

6" threaded one end rod and one inner pushrod tube. Cut
the inner pushrod tube to a length of 6" [152mm]. Cut all but
1/4" [6mm] of the threads from the 2-56 x 6" threaded rod as
shown in the sketch to prevent it from binding during operation.
❏
6. Install a brass screw-lock pushrod connector with the
4-40 x 1/8" cap screw on the steering arm. Snap the nylon
retainer onto the screw-lock pushrod connector post
beneath the arm.
❏
7. Install the steering pushrod by sliding it into the pushrod
tube from inside the fuselage. As the rod exits the firewall,
guide it through the pushrod connector on the steering arm.
Attach the clevis to the servo arm. With the rudder servo centered,
center the nose gear and tighten the 4-40 screw. Cut the
excess pushrod 1/8" [3mm] forward of the pushrod connector.
❏
1. Install a brass screw-lock pushrod connector with the
4-40 x 1/8" cap screw on the throttle servo horn. Snap the
nylon retainer onto the screw-lock pushrod connector post
beneath the servo horn.
❏
2. Drill a 3/16" [5mm] hole in the firewall for the throttle
pushrod tube. When drilling the hole, align it with the outside
hole on the throttle arm. Install the pushrod tube and secure
it into place using medium CA.
❏
3. Assemble the throttle pushrod using one nylon clevis,
one clevis retainer, one 2-56 x 1" threaded rod, one 2-56 x 6"
threaded one end rod and one inner pushrod tube. The
throttle pushrod is assembled the same as the steering
pushrod. Cut all but 1/4" [6mm] of the threads from the 2-56
x 6" threaded rod as shown in the sketch to prevent it from
binding during operation. The length of the inner pushrod
tubing will vary depending on your particular engine
selection.
❏
4. Insert the pushrod into the outer pushrod guide tube and
through the screw-lock pushrod connector on the servo.
Connect the clevis to the throttle arm on the engine, snap the
clevis closed, then slide the retainer in place.
❏
5. With the radio switched on, move the throttle trim and
control stick to the fully closed position, by pulling them back
(or downward) all the way. Manually close the throttle on the
carburetor completely. Tighten the Cap Screw on the screw-lock
pushrod connector. Check throttle operation with the radio
and make adjustments to the linkages as necessary for
smooth operation. Use the appropriate holes in the servo
and throttle arms to provide the correct amount of throttle
movement and to prevent the servo from binding at its
end points.
Note: There are three holes in the fuel tank stopper but only
two are used for this model. Do not puncture the third hole
in the stopper.
