1. Remove the battery hatch from the fuselage by pulling

straight up on the tab as shown. The hatch is held in place by
a magnet.

2. Slide the elevator pushrod guide into the hole in the

rear of the fuselage as shown. Leave 1/4" [6mm] extending
out of the fuselage. Add a couple drops of thick, foam safe
CA to secure the tube in place.

3. Install the elevator servo as shown. Be sure to remove

the servo arm prior to gluing the servo in place. Install a
quick connector in the outer hole on the servo arm and
reattach it to the servo.

into the pushrod guide. When the wire enters the radio
compartment, guide it into the servo quick connector. Do
not tighten the quick connector yet.

5. Align the elevator control horn with the pushrod as

shown. Align the holes in the control horn with the hinge
line. As before, cut a small slot in the elevator and install the
