Great Planes CAP 232 40 Kit - GPMA0232 - Manual (Page 32)

❏
6. With the elevator servo set in place, the servo control
horn centered and the control surfaces in their neutral
position, use a felt tip pen to mark where the longer
pushrod crosses the mounting holes in the servo arm.
❏
7. Disconnect the clevis from the control horn on the
wire you marked. Make a 90 degree bend at the mark you
made. Temporarily install a nylon Faslink
™ on this pushrod,
then cut the wire so it slightly protrudes out of the Faslink.
Hint: If you prefer to bend and cut the pushrod out of the
fuselage remove the pushrod, make the 90 degree bends
and cut the wire. Unscrew the clevis and reinstall the
pushrod in the guide tube from the front. Screw the clevis
back on.
❏
8. Slide two 5/32" wheel collars onto the pushrod.
Connect the pushrod to the servo with the Faslink.
Note: If necessary, enlarge the hole in the servo arm with a
hobby knife (or a #48 drill for precision). Let the pushrod
locate the servo in the servo tray. Screw the elevator servo
in place.
❏
9. While keeping both elevators centered, connect the
two elevator pushrods to each other with the two 5/32"
wheel collars and 6-32 x 1/4" set screws as shown in the
photo. We recommend using thread locking compound on
the set screw threads.
❏
10. Mount the rudder servo in the fuse as shown. Mount
the 2-56 ball link to the rudder servo arm with the 2-56 nut
provided. The ball link must extend toward the fuse as
shown. Secure the nut with thread locker or thin CA.
❏
11. Cut 1-1/4" off the unthreaded end of the 6" rudder
pushrod, making a final length of 4-3/4". Screw the nylon
ball link socket fifteen turns onto the rudder pushrod. Snap
the ball link onto the ball on the servo arm. Temporarily
slide the solder clevis onto the rudder control horn and fit it
in place on the rudder with the rudder pushrod inserted into
the clevis. Center the rudder and the servo horn and mark
the pushrod with a felt tip pen where it enters the clevis.
❏
12. Remove the solder clevis from the control horn, and
remove the servo arm from the servo with the pushrod
attached. The pushrod must be cleaned (but don't wipe off
your mark) before soldering. Rubbing alcohol works well for
this. Silver solder the clevis to the pushrod using the mark
you made as a reference.
