5. Install the die-cut 1/8" ply tank hatch with two #2 x
3/8" sheet metal screws.
❏
1. Use coarse sandpaper to roughen the outside of the
throttle pushrod tube so glue will stick. Use medium CA to
glue the pushrod outer tube into F3 and the firewall. Cut the
pushrod outer tube flush with the outside of the firewall.
❏
2. Bend and cut the 17-1/2" throttle pushrod wire to fit
your engine installation using the drawing on the fuselage
plan as a guide. Install a nylon clevis and insert the pushrod
through the guide tube. Make adjustments to the bends in
the wire so the pushrod aligns with the carburetor arm on
the engine, then temporarily connect the clevis to the carb
arm. Temporarily mount the muffler and make sure the
throttle pushrod will not interfere with the muffler. Make
adjustments to the bends in the wire if necessary.
❏
3. Place the throttle servo in the servo tray. Temporarily
install the brass Screw Lock Pushrod Connector into the
throttle servo arm, then adjust the bend in the throttle
pushrod if necessary and fit it into the connector. When
satisfied with the fit of the pushrod, mount the servo to the
servo tray with the screws provided with the radio system.
❏
4. Cut 11" off one end of one of the 35" wire pushrods.
Cut 13" off the end of the other 35" wire rod. Set the short
pieces aside and save them for the aileron pushrods.
Thread a nylon clevis about 20 turns onto the end of one of
the long rods, then remove the backing plate from a nylon
control horn and connect the clevis to the horn using the
outer hole. Make another pushrod assembly from the other
long rod with a clevis and control horn, in the same manner.
❏
5. Insert the pushrods into the pushrod tubes. Position
the control horns on the elevators as shown in the sketch
and on the plan. Use a ballpoint pen to mark the location of
the control horn mounting holes and drill 3/32" holes
through the elevators at the marks. Temporarily mount the
control horns to the elevators with the backing plates and
2-56 x 5/8" screws.
