5. Thread the antenna under the servo tray, being
careful not to entangle it in any of the wiring. Take a cut-off
piece of servo arm with at least two holes in it, and feed the
antenna through two of the holes, making a strain relief
which protects the antenna from accidentally being torn out
of the receiver. Position this strain relief so that there is a
small amount of slack between the receiver and this strain
relief when the strain relief is positioned against the
opening of the antenna guide tube.
❏
6. Feed the antenna through the guide tube until the
strain relief is resting gently against the antenna guide
tube. Using clear tape, tape the section of antenna which
extends out the exit to the hinge line of the rudder.
Note: You will use this photo for the next 8 steps.
❏
7. Temporarily plug the receiver battery directly into the
receiver. Turn on the transmitter and be sure the servo arms
are all positioned so the servo arms are perpendicular to
the cases, including the throttle servo with throttle stick and
trim at center. Leave the transmitter on and battery plugged
in until told otherwise. Note: You will not mount the receiver
battery until you have used it to properly set the CG.
❏
8. Reinstall the throttle pushrod. Check that the servo
moves in the correct direction, and reverse if necessary in
the radio. Adjust the clevis on the throttle pushrod as
needed so that when wide open the throttle barrel just
opens completely but does not bind (a buzzing sound of
the servo trying to push the arm farther than wide open).
Additionally, at low throttle with the throttle trim at center the
barrel should be open just “slightly” enough to allow the
engine to run, while with the trim pulled all the way back the
barrel is completely closed, again without binding.
❏
9. Locate the three tail pushrods. Remove the nylon
clevises from the two longer pushrods which have solder-
on clevises on the other end.
❏
10. Remove the covering from the pushrod exits.
❏
11. Select the longest pushrod, which has a solder-on
clevis on one end. This is the rudder pushrod. With the
model inverted in the stand, slide the threaded end of the
pushrod under the wing bolt plate, and through the rudder
pushrod tube (which is on the model’s left) out the slot you
made and thread the nylon clevis back in place.
❏
12. Attach the solder-on clevis to the servo arm. Making
sure the rudder is centered, thread the nylon clevis in or out
on the pushrod until it can be attached to the control horn
with the servo arm still perpendicular and the rudder still
centered. Attach the nylon clevis to the control horn.
Confirm that the rudder moves the correct direction
(remembering that the model is upside-down), and reverse
the direction in the radio if required.
❏
13. Select the longer elevator pushrod, which has a
solder-on clevis on the end. Slide two 5/32" wheel collars
onto the pushrod all the way up to the solder-on clevis.
Slide the threaded end under the wing bolt plate and
through the elevator pushrod tube on the model’s left side
and thread the nylon clevis back in place. Attach to the
servo and control horn as you did for the rudder pushrod.
❏
14. Using the plans as a reference and feeling the
location of the exit of the pushrod tube on the model’s right,
cut an exit location for the second elevator pushrod.
Holding the nylon clevis end, feed the pushrod up the
pushrod tube from the exit location you just created.
❏
15. Keeping both elevators centered, attach the nylon
clevis to the control horns. Keeping both elevators centered
and the elevator servo arm centered, slip the second
pushrod into the two wheel collars and secure the wheel
collars as shown in the photo. Confirm that the elevators
move the correct direction, remembering the model is
upside-down, and reversing the servo if required.
