a portion of the threaded end of the wire leaving 1/2"

6. Snap the ball link onto the ball on the end of the
air control valve. Position the plywood mounting bracket
on the plywood former so that the pushrod wire is in line

rotate the servo arm forward towards the valve. Make a
mark on the wire where it passes under the hole in the
end of the servo arm. Make a 90 degree bend in the
wire on the mark. Cut off the excess wire 3/8" [9.5mm]
above the bend. Install the wire into the servo arm and
