5. Test fit the rudder, elevator and throttle servos in the
1/8" [3mm] plywood servo tray. Depending on the size of
your servos you may have to slightly trim the mount. Place
the servos in the tray and mount them with the hardware that
came with the servos. Center the rudder servo arm. If
necessary bend the rudder pushrod slightly to align it with
the servo holes.
❏
6. Center the rudder and make a mark on the pushrod
where it meets with the servo arm's hole you want to use.
Bend the pushrod 90 degrees up and install a Faslink on the
rudder pushrod as shown in the sketch. Cut away any
excess wire.
❏
7. Center the elevator servo arm. Align one of the elevator
pushrods with the hole you want to use in the servo arm. Slip
two 5/32" [4mm] wheel collars onto the pushrod. Center the
elevator that pushrod controls. Bend the pushrod 90 degrees
up and install a Faslink. Center the other elevator and bend its
pushrod as shown above to mate with the first pushrod. Place
the two wheel collars as shown, drop some threadlocker onto
the threads and tighten the pushrod screws (6-32 x 1/4"
[6.3mm] SHCS). Cut the excess pushrod as shown.
❏
8. Install a Screw-Lock Pushrod Connector on the throttle
servo arm. Insert the throttle pushrod into the connector.
Use a 4-40 x 1/8" [3mm] socket head cap screw to secure
the pushrod into the connector. Make sure that you can get
the full range of carburetor rotation with the servo rotation.
Use some Great Planes Pro Thread Locking Compound on
the SHCS to prevent it from coming loose with vibration.
❏
9. Secure all plastic outer pushrod guides in place with
thin CA both fore and aft.
❏
10. Install a radio switch and a charge receptacle away
from the exhaust. Glue two 1/2" x 1/4" [12mm x 6.3mm]
balsa sticks (not supplied) across the fuselage on top of the
fuel tank as shown above. These sticks will support the radio
battery and receiver.
❏
11. Wrap the battery pack and the receiver in at least 1/4"
[6.3mm] of R/C foam rubber and install them in the fuselage.
Use shrink tubing to secure the battery to switch
connections. Glue two 1/2" x 1/4" [12mm x 6.3mm] balsa
sticks to secure the battery and receiver in place.
