(500mm) pushrod wire.

11. Insert the pushrod wire into the outside hole of

the control horn. Slide the rudder pushrod in the

hole of the pushrod connector. Use pliers to open

the pushrod keeper just enough to slip it over the

bend of the pushrod wire so it secures the pushrod

wire to the control horn. Don’t open the connector

too far as it could possibly break the connector.

12. Center the rudder and the rudder servo. Use a

2mm x 4mm machine screw to secure the pushrod

wires in the pushrod connector. Use a #1 Phillips

screwdriver to tighten the screw. Use side cutters

to trim the excess length of the pushrod wire so it

does not interfere with the operation of the servo.
