 8. Slide the pushrod into the hole in the pushrod
connector. Insert the control horn in the slot in
the elevator.
 9. Slide the control horn backplate over the end
of the control horn from the opposite side of the
control surface. Snap the backplate so the horn is
held tight against the control surface. Apply 2–3
drops of thin CA to the backplate where it contacts
the control horn to keep it from accidentally coming
loose in flight.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
 10. Use the radio system to center the elevator
servo. Center the elevator so it is aligned with
the stabilizer. Tighten the setscrew in the pushrod
connector using a 1.5mm hex wrench to secure
the pushrod wire. Use side cutters to trim the
excess length of wire 1/4 inch (6mm) beyond the
connector as shown.
 11. Repeat steps 1 through 10 to install the rudder
servo and hardware.
