E-flite P-38/F-5E Lightning Assembly Manual

11. With the radio system still powered on, attach

the pushrod wire to the servo arm. It may be necessary

to enlarge the hole in the servo arm using a drill bit

or sharp hobby knife so the Z-bend can move freely

in the arm, but with no slop. Install the servo arm on

the servo so it is as close to perpendicular with the

pushrod as possible. Secure the servo arm to the

servo using the screw provided with the servo. Thread

the clevis on the pushrod in or out to adjust the length

of the pushrod, positioning the elevator level with the

stabilizer when the servo is centered.

12. Replace the servo hatch cover once the linkage

has been installed. Turn off the radio system at this

time as well.

13. Elongate the two openings near the nose gear

rearward 3/8 in (10mm). Angle the foam back to

the holes to allow for more airflow through and over

the battery.

Note: Step 13 is optional to help with cooling of the ESC

and battery. It is suggested to enlarge the openings if

you plan to fly aggresive and at high throttle settings.
