Repeat the previous procedures to install the second control horn on the other elevator half.
Step 2: Installing the Elevator Pushrod Tubes
See other exciting Modeltech ARF airplanes at http://modeltech.globalhobby.com
Install the nylon control horn using two 2mm x 25mm
machine screws.
Don't overtighten the screws. You don't want to crush
the elevator.
Install one 2mm x 20mm machine screw, two 2mm flat
washers and one 2mm hex nut into the center hole in the
nylon pushrod joiner plate. Tighten the assembly securely.
One washer should be installed at the front of the plate
and one at the back (flat side).
Apply a drop of thin C/A to the nut to prevent it from
loosening. Allow the C/A to dry before proceeding.
Secure both 755mm long pushrod tubes to the back of
the nylon joiner plate using two 2mm x 10mm flange-head
wood screws.
Be sure to tighten the screws firmly.
Apply a drop of thin C/A to each pushrod tube where it
attaches to the joiner plate. The C/A will "wick" down into
the tube, locking the wood screws into place.
Using a modeling knife, cut a 1/4" long piece of clear
tubing and slide it over the base of one nylon clevis.
Thread the clevis onto the machine screw.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the clevis is threaded on completely, so there's no
chance of it coming loose.
