❏
1. Glue the die-cut 1/8" ply servo tray in place in the fuse.
❏
2. Select one of the remaining grey outer pushrod tubes.
Use coarse sandpaper to roughen the outside of the tube
so glue will stick. Slide it through its hole in the firewall, until
it protrudes 1/8" past F3A. Glue it into the firewall. Cut the
pushrod outer tube 1/4" in front of the firewall.
❏
3. Mount the throttle, elevator and rudder servos, using
the hardware supplied with the radio.
❏
4. Bend and cut a 36" 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
carburetor arm. Temporarily mount the muffler and confirm
that the muffler will not interfere with or touch the throttle
pushrod. Make adjustments to the bends in the wire
if necessary.
❏
5. 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.
Remove the engine mount with the engine still attached.
❏
6. Thread a nylon clevis about 20 turns onto the end of
one of the 36" pushrods, making one elevator pushrod
assembly. Remove the backing plate from a nylon control
horn and connect the horn to the clevis in the outer hole.
Make another identical elevator pushrod assembly from
another 36" pushrod.
❏
7. Slide the elevator hinges into the elevator halves and
then into the stab. DO NOT glue the elevators to the stab at
this time.
❏
8. Insert both elevator pushrods into the upper pushrod
tubes. Position the control horns on the elevators as shown
