7. Install the rudder pushrod just as you did the elevator
pushrod. The clevis should be in the outer hole of the rudder
control horn.

8. Cut off the threaded end from a 17-3/4" [451mm] pushrod.
Make a 90 degree bend 1/4" [6mm] from the end of the pushrod.
Make a very slight bend in the pushrod 3" [76mm] from the
other end of the pushrod. The bend should be made in the
orientation shown in the picture.
❏
9. Insert the pushrod you made in the previous step into
the steering pushrod tube and into the screw-lock pushrod
connector on the rudder servo. Fit the 90 degree bend in the
wire into the outer hole of the steering arm. Loosely thread a
4-40 x 1/4" [6.4mm] socket head cap screw into the screw-
lock connector.
❏
10. Center the nose gear so that it points straight ahead.
With the rudder servo still centered, use thread locking
compound, and tighten the socket head cap screw in the
screw-lock connector.
