1. Use medium CA to glue the air intake to the bottom of

the fuselage. Make sure not to glue the intake to the cowl.

Note: Your intake scoop will differ slightly from the one

pictured above. It will be black in color as well, not white

as depicted in the photo. These changes were made to

ensure the accuracy of the full scale Pitts model 12 was

maintained.

2. Install the pushrod connector in the bottom control

horn. The screw will face toward the wing tip.

3. Thread a clevis on the pushrod wire. Connect the clevis

to the control horn of the top wing. With both ailerons

centered, tighten the screw to secure the pushrod to the

pushrod connector.
