pushrod assembly.
Q 10. Once the pushrods are fully installed, use
the remaining 3/16" x 3/16" balsa to make
supports for the pushrod tubes. Place the
supports in the fuselage towards the leading

supports will reduce the amount of flex in the
pushrods and result in more accurate inputs.

The control throws are as follows:
Q 1. Drill a 1/8" hole in the bottom of the fuse as
shown on the plan for the tow hook attachment.
Install a 4-40 blind nut into the hole from the
inside of the fuselage.
Q 2. Attach the threaded tow hook to the
bottom of the fuselage by threading a 4-40 nut
and a 4-40 washer all the way onto the tow
hook and screwing the tow hook into the blind
nut. With the tow hook threaded almost all the
way into the blind nut, make sure the tow hook
is facing straight back and tighten the nut to
secure it.

stripping can be applied to the front of the
fuselage bottom to help protect it from getting
nicked during landings.
The canopy is held in place with a rubber band.
Use a medium-size rubber band to hold the
