 4. Use a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit
to enlarge the hole in the arm that is 3/4 inch
(19mm) from the center of the arm. Attach the
pushrod connector to the servo arm. The included
washers may be used to reduce the amount of play
in the connector when it is installed. Tighten the nut
so that it is secure on the arm but is not too tight.
There should be a small amount of play between
the arm and the connector, and the connector
should be able to rotate freely on the arm. Use a
very small amount of medium CA on a toothpick
to secure the nut to the bottom of the connector
threads. Do not use thin CA for this step as it can
wick through the nut and glue the connector to the
arm. Make sure the connector still rotates freely in
the arm after the glue is cured.
 5. Pass the Z-bend in the 2.0mm x 170mm
pushrod through the center hole of the control horn.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
 6. The pushrod wire will pass through the hole in
the micro screw-lock connector. With the servo
centered, secure the horn to the servo using the
screw provided with the servo and a #0 Phillips
screwdriver. With the control surface and servo
centered, use a 1.5mm hex wrench to tighten the
setscrew in the connector to secure the pushrod
wire. Use side cutters to trim the pushrod so it is
1/4 inch (6mm) past the connector as shown.
 7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 to install the remaining
aileron control horn and pushrod.
