Hook Up the Elevators
❏
1. Now that the elevators have been hinged, free them up
by moving them up and down several times.
Refer to this photo while hooking up the elevators.
❏
2. Shorten one of the elevator pushrods by cutting it with
pliers over the aft edge of the elevator servo tray. Making
sure the elevators are even with each other, join the two
pushrods by tightening them together with the wheel collar
and the 3mm Phillips screw and a drop of threadlocker on
the threads.
❏
3. The same way you mounted the aileron servo, mount
the elevator servo to the servo tray and center the elevator
servo with your radio. Mount a screw-lock connector to the
farthest-inward hole in your servo arm and attach the arm to
the servo. Make sure the elevators are centered when you
tighten down the pushrod and use threadlocker on the screw.
Also make sure the elevators respond in the correct direction
according to your control inputs.
❏
4. Check and set the elevator control throw according to
the instructions on page 18, or wait until later when you get
to that part of the manual.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Mount the Receiver and Battery
❏
1. Mount the receiver to the bottom of the fuselage just
ahead of the wing with the included Velcro strip or double-
sided adhesive foam tape.
❏
2. If using a 2.4GHz receiver, cut the included 2" [50mm]
plastic antenna tube in half and glue the pieces in the
fuselage to position the antennas. If using a 72MHz radio
that has a long, wire antenna, use the tubing to guide the
antenna down through the fuselage and out a small hole
you drill in the side just ahead of the horizontal stab. Tape
any remaining antenna to the side of the fuselage so it won’t
get stepped on or caught up with up in any other part of
the plane.
If you prefer mounting your battery by securing it with a
Velcro strap, perform steps 3 through 7. If not strapping
the battery down, skip to step 8. Testing proved that a
strap wasn’t necessary, but some modelers may prefer to
use one anyway.
