onto the rod approximately 20 full turns, slip the retainer on
the rod and install the rod in the throttle outer pushrod.
Install the engine and attach the clevis on the engine throttle
arm. Make sure you have a free moving linkage. Slip the
retainer on the clevis.

2. Locate three clevis, three retainers and three 0.074" x

36" [914mm] threaded one end pushrods. Thread a clevis
approximately 20 full turns onto each pushrod and slip a
retainer onto each clevis. Feel the MonoKote for pushrod exit
holes in the aft portion of the fuselage, under the stab. There
should be a total of 3 exit holes, one for the rudder and two
for the elevators. Cut away the covering in the hole area and
insert the pushrods in their guides from the rear.

3. Connect a large nylon control horn on each clevis and

position the control horn on each control surface as shown.
Drill 3/32" [2.4mm] holes through the elevators and rudder to
accommodate the control horn's screws. Wick some thin CA
into the holes. Install the elevator control horns with four
2-56 x 1/2" [12mm] machine screws and two nylon back
plates. Install the rudder control horn with two 2-56 x 3/4"
[19mm] socket head cap screws and a nylon back plate.

Note: If you choose not to install a charge receptacle to
connect the aileron servos to the receiver, skip the following
step and go on to the next one.

4. Mark a straight line on the fuselage as shown above.

Make a mark 1-1/4" [32mm] from the firewall. Install an Ernst
Charge Receptacle as shown above using two #2 x 3/8"
[9.5mm] screws (not supplied). Insert the male end of a 6"
[152mm] servo extension cord to the charge receptacle. The
servo plug should be left about 1/4" [6.3mm] out of the
receptacle. Use thin CA to hold it in place. This receptacle
will be used as the connector for the aileron servo. Make
sure you know the polarity of the plug. Negative (-) is the
black wire. Note how we marked the polarity on the
instruction’s model.
