16. Bend the pushrod up 90° at the mark. Cut off the

excess pushrod 1/4" [6mm] from the bend.

17. Enlarge the holes in the servo arm with a 5/64" [2mm]

(or a #48 drill bit).

18. Attach the pushrod to the servo using a Faslink connector.

19. Repeat this procedure for connecting the rudder pushrod.

20. Adjust the location of the plywood pushrod tube support

so the pushrods are as straight as possible. Also, position the
elevator guide tube so it is approximately 1" [25mm] from the
back of the fuselage. Glue the guide tubes to the support and
the support to the fuselage using epoxy.

Hint: Roughen the

guide tubes and fuse sides to help the glue stick better.

1. Wrap the receiver battery with 1/4" foam rubber and

install it as far forward in the nose as possible.

2. Extend the antenna and route through the inside of the

fuselage towards the tail. Try to keep it as straight as possible.

3. Wrap the receiver in 1/4" foam rubber and position

behind the battery. Route the servo extension wires under
the servos to the wing saddle area.

4. Install the switch in front of the servos on the tray. Use

a scrap piece of light ply to make a mount that fits your
particular switch.

5. Hook up all the servos to your receiver. Connect a “Y”

harness for the flaps and two 12" [305mm] extensions for
the ailerons to the receiver.

NOTE: Consult your radio's

instruction manual for proper connection.

1. The tow hook has three different mounting locations.

Mark the inside of the fuselage 3-1/4" [83mm] back from the
leading edge of the wing saddle.

2. Epoxy the two plywood tow hook plates together.
