❑
Place a small "4-point" servo horn onto the elevator
servo, making sure that the servo horn is centered and
points toward the fuselage side.
☞
You might have to cut off the excess arms from the servo
horn so that they don't interfere with the other servo.
❑
With both the servo horn and the elevator centered, use
a pencil to draw a mark on the pushrod wire where it crosses
the second hole out from the center of the servo horn.
❑
Using Z-Bend Pliers, make a Z-bend in the pushrod wire
at the mark you drew, then use wire cutters to cut away the
excess wire.
☞
To make it easier to make the Z-Bend, remove the
pushrod from the control horn and pull the pushrod as far
forward as possible. This will give you more room to work.
❑
Connect the servo arm to the Z-Bend and attach the servo
horn to the servo output shaft, making sure that the servo
horn is centered.
❑
Install and tighten the servo horn retaining screw, provided with your servo, to secure the servo horn into place.
❑
Remove the masking tape from the elevator and double-check that the servo horn and the elevator are still centered.
If the elevator is not centered, use a pair of pliers to carefully open or close the "V" in the pushrod wire. Doing this will
effectively lengthen or shorten the pushrod wire, centering the elevator.
Step 2: Installing the Rudder Pushrod Assembly
IMPORTANT
The rudder pushrod assembly is installed in much the same way as the elevator pushrod assembly.
Control horn installation is the same, servo horn installation is the same, etc. There are a couple of minor differences,
but those are pointed out for you in this step.
❑
Bend the remaining 18" long pushrod wire exactly the
same way you bent the elevator pushrod wire and install the
wire into the middle hole in the remaining control horn.
❑
Carefully slide the plain end of the pushrod wire (with the control horn still attached) into the nylon pushrod housing
in the left side of the fuselage (looking from the back of the airplane).
