4. Four total control horns are supplied in this kit. Identify
the thin control horns (1mm, black). Set the thicker horns
aside for later. Roughen the surface of each side of the tabs
using 150-grit or fi ner sand paper.
❏
5. Fit the 1mm [1/32"] thick black control horns onto the
L bends of the two 1mm x 500mm [19-11/16"] pushrods. Fit
a plastic control horn retainer to each rod as shown. Both
the elevator and the rudder horns are assembled the same
way. Use the photo as a reference.
❏
6. Insert the pushrods in the pushrod tubes from the
tail end of the fuselage.
❏ ❏
7. Fit one servo in place so that the servo arm is on
the inboard side. Slide the servo along the rails so that it
lines up with the pushrod. Drill two 1/16" [1.6mm] holes and
install the servo with two servo screws (FUTM2250). You
should then remove the screws and harden the screw holes
you just tapped in the wood with thin CA.
Repeat the last step to install the other servo.
❏
8. Slide the elevator pushrod into the elevator screw-lock
pushrod connector on the servo side. Fit the control horn in
the pre-cut slot in the bottom of the right elevator. Make sure
that the horn is perpendicular with the elevator (as viewed
from behind the model). When you’re satisfi ed with the fi t of
the horn, glue it in place with a bead of thin CA on each side
of the horn. Note: If the pushrod slides out of the screw-lock
connector, remove the servo arm and slide the arm onto the
pushrod. Reinstall the servo arm and the retaining screw.
❏
9. Fit the rudder control horn into the slot in the rudder. If
the rudder hinge interferes with the horn, use your hobby
knife to cut through the hinge. When you’re satisfi ed with the
position of the control horn, glue it in place.
