Great Planes Tutor Park Flyer Kit- GPMA0002 - Manual (Page 18)

❏
6. Use pliers to insert the pushrod end 1-1/4" [32mm] into
a 1/16" x 12" [1.6 x 305mm] aluminum pushrod tube. Use
thin CA to glue the pushrod end into the pushrod tube.
❏
7. Make another pushrod end just the same as the first
and insert it into the same pushrod tube, but do not glue it
in. This will be the elevator pushrod.
❏
8. Make sure the pushrod end that is not glued into the
tube fits tightly and will not easily slide in and out. It will be
permanently glued in after the model has been set up and
the exact length of the pushrod has been determined.
❏
9. Refer to this photo for the following three steps.
Insert the elevator pushrod into the fuse through the slot in
the right side. The pushrod end that is not glued into the
tube should be at the rear.
❏
10. Connect the front of the pushrod to the servo arm,
then mount the servo arm to the elevator servo. Connect the
other end of the pushrod to the outer hole in the elevator
control horn, then hold the elevator up to the stab.
❏
11. Slide the pushrod end in or out of the pushrod tube
until the elevator is centered when the servo is centered.
Use cellophane tape to hinge the elevator to the stab as
shown in the sketch.
❏
12. Make the rudder pushrod and join the rudder to the
fin the same way.
❏
13. Attach the ailerons to the wing with cellophane tape
the same as you did the elevators and rudder.
❏
1. Make the tail skid as shown on the plan from leftover
1/8" x 1/8" [3.2 x 3.2mm] balsa, then glue it to the fuse.
❏
2. Install the wheels on the 1/16" [1.6mm] wire landing
gear. Secure the wheels with the nylon retainers supplied
with this kit.
❏
3. Mount the landing gear to the fuse with #14 rubber
bands on both sides. Both rubber bands must be stretched
enough to wrap around the gear and dowel at least eight
times. (Even though the fuselage is shown without covering,
yours should be covered at this time.)
