9. Loosely install a 3x6mm SHCS into two 2.5mm wheel
collars. Slide one of the wheel collars around both elevator
pushrods followed by the elevator pushrod support. Do not
tighten the wheel collar screw yet.
❏
10. Slide the other wheel collar onto the 4-5/8" [118mm]
pushrod. Fit the Z-bend of this pushrod into the enlarged hole
in the elevator servo arm. Fit the other end of the pushrod
through the pushrod support and through the wheel collar
you installed in the previous step. Position the forward wheel
collar so that all three pushrod wires are inside it. With the
elevator servo still centered, position the elevators in the
neutral position and tighten the screws in the wheel collars,
use thread locking compound. Use medium or thick CA to
glue the pushrod support to the side of the fuselage. Use your
radio system to test the operation of the elevators and make
any adjustments necessary.

11. Prepare the rudder servo as you did the elevator servo.
Install a screw lock connector into the hole that is approximately
9/32" [7mm] from the servo arm center. Loosely thread a
2x5mm Phillips head screw into the screw lock connector.

the servo tray in the orientation shown.

the hole you enlarged and install the control horn onto the
rudder as shown.
