INSTALL THE ELEVATOR AND RUDDER
SERVOS
Note: Just a reminder, whenever a screw is threaded
into wood sheeting or wood blocks we recommend that
you install the screw and then remove it. Apply a drop of
thin CA glue into the hole to harden the threads. After
the glue has hardened, re-install the screw.
❏
1. From one of the four arm servo arms, cut three
arms off leaving a single servo arm. Center the servo.
Then, install the servo horn to the servo.
❏
2. Using the hardware that came with your servo,
install a servo into the opening in line with the elevator.
❏
3. Install a 4-40 solder clevis into the outer hole of
the servo arm.
Be sure the servo is centered and the elevator is
centered. Make a mark on the pushrod wire where
you will cut the pushrod to fi t into the clevis.
❏
4. Cut the wire on the mark you made. Solder the
wire to the solder clevis using the technique described
in the
“Hot Tip” on page 8. After the solder has cured
install a silicone clevis keeper over the clevis and install
the clevis into the outer hole of the servo arm.
❏
5. Install a servo for the other half of the elevator
using the same technique used on the elevator servo
you just installed.
❏
6. From one of the four arm servo arms, cut two arms
off leaving a double servo arm. Center the servo. Then,
install the servo horn on the servo. Using the hardware
that came with your servo, install the servo as shown.
Feed the pull-pull wires from the tail wheel through the
opening in the bulk head.
