9. Install the nylon nose gear steering block to the front
of the fuselage with four 6-32 x 5/8" [16mm] socket head
cap screws, #6 fl at washers and #6 lock washers. Apply a
drop of thread locker on the threads of the cap screws before
installing.
❏
10. Cut a 2-56 x 36" [914mm] metal pushrod in half.
Save the piece with the threads on it for the throttle pushrod.
Make a bend 3/8" [9.5mm] from the end of the non-threaded
18" [457mm] metal pushrod.
❏
11. Insert a 4mm wheel collar into the nylon steering
arm. Align the hole in the side of the steering arm with the
threaded hole in the side of the wheel collar. Apply a drop of
thread locker to a 6-32 x 1/4" [6mm] socket head cap screw
and thread it into the wheel collar. Use a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit
to enlarge the outer hole in the steering arm.
❏
12. Insert the bent end of the pushrod in the outer hole of
the steering arm. Slide the pushrod in the hole in the fi rewall.
Insert the nose gear wire in the nose gear block and through
the steering arm. Tighten the cap screw in the steering arm
against the fl at spot on the nose gear wire. Adjust the steering
arm and the lower wheel collar so that the end of the nose gear
wire does not hit the bottom of the fi rewall. Bend the pushrod
as necessary to allow the steering arm to rotate freely.

13. Install the Screw-lock Pushrod Connector in the
hole 7/16" [11mm] from the center of the rudder servo arm.
Secure the connector with the nylon retainer.
