Linkage
Required Parts
Airframe
Control horn (4)
Control horn back plate (4)
Aileron wire
Micro pushrod keeper (4)
Required Tools and Adhesives
Pliers
❍
1. Locate two control horns and two control
horn back plates. Install one control horn
in the top aileron, the other in the bottom
aileron. The horns will face each other when
installed.
