1. Slide the control horn into the pre-drilled holes in the

rudder. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the area around

the base of the control horn. Remove the horn and use

a hobby knife to cut the covering away from the area

inside the outline. Use medium CA to attach the control

horn to the rudder. Install the control horn backplate on

the opposite side of the control horn to secure its position.

Remove the covering under this also.

2. Prepare a long 3D servo horn by enlarging the hole

1/2-inch (13mm) from the center of the servo horn with a

pin drill and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit. After removing

the webbing from the underside of the horn, secure the

connector to the horn. Remove the excess from the horn

using side cutters.

3. Secure a 9-inch (228mm) servo extension to the

elevator servo so it will not unplug inside the fuselage.

Use a 12-inch (305mm) servo extension for the rudder.
