IMPORTANT! Installation of the Turbo 550 motor and
a typical radio system is described in this booklet.
Depending on the equipment you are using, you may
not be able to follow exactly these instructions. Follow
the installation instructions included with your equip-
ment or seek help from your local hobby dealer.
Before beginning, make sure that each of the following
items have been completed:
1. Model is fully covered and painted, if required.
2. All control surfaces are hinged in place.
3. The tail assembly is glued solidly to the fuse.
4. The stab and rudder pushrods are complete.
CONTROL HORN INSTALLATION
1. ‡ Refer to the fuse side view on the plan to deter-
mine the location of the rudder control horn.
‡ Tack-glue the control horn on the correct side
of the rudder.
‡ Drill through the holes in the control horn and
then mount the nut plate on the other side of
the rudder, using 2-56 x 1/2” machine screws.
Trim the screws flush with the nut plate.

same general procedures, determine the loca-
tion for the elevator control horn and mount it
in place.
PUSHROD INSTALLATION
1. ‡ Take a 2-foot piece of string and tape it to the
17” elevator pushrod at both ends. This string
will be used later to help thread the antenna
through the fuse.
2. ‡ Starting in the radio compartment, insert the
threaded-rod end of the pushrod through the
fuselage to the rear opening. Allow approxi-
mately 2” of wire to stick out.
3. ‡ Holding the pushrod wire with a pliers, twist a
mini-snap onto the threaded rod, so that the
rod can be seen in the center of the snap link.
4. ‡ Connect the mini-snap to the elevator control
horn.
5. ‡ Install the rudder pushrod in the same manner.
6. ‡ Tape the front ends of the rudder and elevator
pushrods near the battery hatch opening, so
that they will be out of the way.
