9. Install the rudder pushrod. Thread a clevis 14-turns
onto the pushrod. Attach the clevis to the control horn. Bend
the pushrod as necessary to allow for free movement.
❏
10. Install the elevator pushrod. Thread the clevis onto
the pushrod. Attach the clevis to the control horn. Trim the
opening at the rear of the fuselage as necessary to allow the
pushrod to move freely.
❏ ❏
11. Center the rudder and servo arm. Mark the pushrod
wire at the servo arm. Bend the wire up at the mark. Cut the
wire 5/16" [8mm] below the bend. Secure the pushrod to the
servo arm with a nylon FasLink. Make sure the wire will not
bind against the servo case. Repeat the process for the
elevator pushrod.
❏
1. Place the small hardwood dowel into the front canopy
brace. Remove the covering for the dowel in the front of the
fuselage. Install the dowel into the hole.
❏
2. Place a piece of wax paper between the bottom
canopy brace and fuselage. Glue the bottom canopy brace
to the front canopy brace with CA. The wax paper will prevent
the braces from accidentally being glued to the fuselage.
Note: If you are planning on using the optional spoilers, you
must remove the shaded area to allow for servo movement.
❏
3. With the wax paper still in place, glue the rear canopy
brace to the bottom canopy brace with CA. Note: If you are
planning on using the optional spoilers, you must remove
the shaded area to allow for servo movement.
