6. Apply some medium or thick CA glue to the underside
of a control horn base. Insert the control horn into the two
holes of one of the ailerons. Apply some glue to the posts
as well as the underside of a mounting plate. Press the plate
onto the mounting posts. Repeat this step for the other aileron.
❏
7. Fit a screw lock pushrod connector into the outer hole of
each aileron control horn. Secure them using nylon retainers.
Three spare nylon retainers have been included in the kit. If
a nylon retainer does not secure tightly onto the screw lock
connector, discard it and use a new retainer.

8. Defl ect the ailerons as far away from the servos as
possible to determine how much pushrod must be cut off to
fi t the pushrods through the holes of the screw lock pushrod
connectors. If necessary, trim the slots in the aileron covers as
shown to allow clearance for the pushrods. When this is done,
insert the pushrods through the holes in the connectors, ensure
that the servos are electronically centered (using your radio
system), center the ailerons, then secure the pushrods into the
connectors using 2x5mm machine screws and threadlocking
compound. Trim the excess pushrod that extends beyond 1/4"
[6mm] aft of the connector.
Install the Wing Panels
❏
1. Use medium or thick CA to glue the carbon anti-rotation
pins into the wing panels so that 5/16" [8mm] protrudes
outside the root ribs. Take care to glue the pins so that they
are square to the ribs.
