❏
1. For a typical gas engine installation, it is easiest to get
the CAP 232 to balance by installing the rudder servos in the
aft servo bays. These are located just behind and slightly
below the elevator servo bays as shown in the sketch.
❏
2. Remove the covering from the rudder servo bays using
a sharp hobby knife.
❏
3. Trim the two rudder control horns as shown. This is
necessary to allow the elevator halves to clear the horns.
❏
4. Install the rudder servos with 36" [915 mm] servo
extensions attached. Secure the connections using heat
shrink as you did before. The servos output shaft should
point toward the nose of the aircraft with the servo arm
pointing toward the top of the fuselage.
❏
5. Use the same procedure as done with the elevator
halves to create pushrods and align the control horns. Final
installation will resemble the picture above.
❏ ❏
1. Attach one 3/16" [4.8 mm] x 2" [51 mm] axle to a main
gear strut. Use a 5/16" [8 mm] nylon lock nut on the back side
of the axle as shown.
❏ ❏
2. Slide a 3/16" [4.8 mm]
wheel collar, 3.5" [89 mm]
main wheel, and another 3/16"
[4.8 mm] wheel collar onto the
axle as shown.
