 4. 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.
NOTICE: Do not use a CA accelerator during
the assembly of your model. A CA accelerator will
damage the finish of your model and can damage
the foam as well. Even foam-safe accelerators will
damage the finish of your model. Allow the CA to
cure without the use of an accelerant.
 5. Mount the elevator servo in the fuselage
using the screws provided with the servo and a
#0 Phillips screwdriver.
 6. Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to remove the
stock servo horn from the servo. Remove the clevis
from the 315mm pushrod. Connect the Z-bend
in the pushrod to the outer hole of a single-sided
servo arm. Slide the pushrod into the pushrod tube.
With the servo centered, attach the servo horn
perpendicular to the servo centerline using the
screw from the servo and a #0 Phillips screwdriver.
 7. Thread the clevis on the pushrod wire. Connect
the clevis to the outer hole of the elevator control
horn. With the servo centered, check that the
elevator is centered. Thread the clevis in or out as
necessary to center the elevator. Once centered,
slide the silicone tube over the forks of the clevis to
prevent the clevis from opening accidentally.
 8. Repeat steps 2 through 8 to install the rudder
servo and linkage.
