11. Slide two pushrod guides (E3) onto the 1 x 365mm

[3/64" x 14-3/8"] elevator pushrod and slide the pushrod
through the clevises on the elevator servo arm and control
horn. Adjust the clevises until the elevator is centered with
the servo centered. Secure the clevises with a drop of glue
on each clevis where the pushrod enters it.

12. Using the pushrod as a guide, drill two evenly-spaced

2.4mm [3/32"] holes through the fuselage for the pushrod
guides. Glue the base of each pushrod guide into the holes.

13. Install the 1 x 360mm [3/64" x 14-11/64"] rudder

pushrod the same way.

14. Connect all three servos to the receiver. Mount the

receiver to the bottom of the left horizontal fuselage with
double-sided foam tape. Make sure the receiver is far enough
forward so that it does not interfere with aileron motion.

15. Drill two 1.5mm [1/16"] holes through the fuselage where

shown. “Stitch” the receiver antenna through these holes.

If mounting the included stick-mounted motor and gearbox
or an after-market geared brushless system, follow the
instructions in this section. If mounting a firewall-mounted
motor system, proceed to

“Firewall-Mounted Motor

System” on page 17.

1. The 10 x 10 x 27mm [25/64" x 25/64" x 1-1/16"] hardwood

motor mount block must be mounted in the correct
orientation. Identify the top, aft end of the block as shown in the
sketch so you will know how it is to be installed.
