12. Apply 2–3 drop of thin CA in each of the holes

to harden the surrounding wood. This will help in

preventing the screws from vibrating loose.

13. Remove the servo horn from the servo. Use the

screws provided with the servo and a #1 Phillips

screwdriver to secure the servo in position.

14. Disconnect the clevis at the rudder control horn.

Insert the bend in the rudder pushrod in the hole

enlarged in Step 6 for the servo horn. With the

rudder servo centered, attach the servo horn on the

servo so it is perpendicular to the servo centerline.

Install the screw securing the horn to the servo using

a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

15. Repeat Steps 4 through 14 to install the 19-inch

(482mm) elevator pushrod.

16. With the servos plugged into the receiver

and the radio system on, center the sticks and

trims for the rudder and elevator. Use a straight

edge to make sure the elevator is aligned with the

stabilizer. Adjust the clevis on the elevator pushrod

as necessary so the elevator and stabilizer are in

alignment when the clevis is connected to the outer

hole of the elevator control horn. Check both the left

and right elevators. Once aligned, slide the silicone

clevis retainer over the forks of the clevis to prevent

it from opening accidentally in flight.
