Pushrods & Servos

1. Locate and remove the covering from the pushrod

exits on both sides of the fuse beneath the stab.

2. Insert one of the 19-3/4" [502mm] pushrod wires

through the left pushrod exit slot into the fuse. Hook a nylon
control horn onto the Z-bend in the pushrod wire. Align the

control horn onto the underside of the left elevator half and
position the holes over the hinge line at a slight inward angle
matching the angle of the pushrod. When satisfi ed, mark
the locations for the control horn mounting screws. Drill the
holes using a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit and install the control horn
with two 2mm x 15mm machine screws and a control horn
backplate. The screw ends can be cut fl ush with the top of
the control horn backplate.

3. With the other 19-3/4" [502mm] pushrod, install a control

horn on the right side of the rudder in the same manner.

4. Using the hardware supplied with the servos, install the

elevator and rudder servo into the fuse with the servo splines
facing forward. Be sure to reinforce the servo mounting screw
holes with thin CA.
