15. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a

2mm x 8mm self-tapping screw into each of the pre-

drilled holes to cut threads in the surrounding wood.

Remove the screw before moving to the next step.

16. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of

the holes to harden the surrounding wood. This will

harden the threads so the screws do not easily strip

the surrounding wood.

17. Remove the control horn backplate from

the control horn using a hobby knife and #11

blade. The backplate can be discarded as it is not

used in the assembly of your model.

18. Install the servo horn using two 2mm

x 8mm self-tapping screws and a #1 Phillips

screwdriver.

19. Slide the small piece of silicone tubing

in a nylon clevis. Thread the clevis 12-turns on a

threaded pushrod wire. This will provide enough

threads in the clevis to be secure and allow for

adjustment of the linkage.

The aileron pushrod measures 2

21. Attach the pushrod wire to the servo horn

using the bend in the wire. With the servo

centered, connect the clevis to the outer hole on

the control horn. Make sure the aileron is centered

when the clevis is connected. Adjust the clevis

as needed to center the aileron. Slide the tubing

over the forks of the clevis to keep it from opening

accidentally in flight.
