Using a modeling knife, remove the covering from over the elevator pushrod exit hole in each side of the fuselage.
The holes are located 4" in front of the rudder hinge line and 5/16" below the horizontal stabilizer.
Using wire cutters, remove all but one arm from a "4-point" servo horn.
Snap the nylon clevis (attached to the joiner plate assembly) into the third hole out from the center of the servo arm.
You will have to enlarge the hole in the servo arm using a 5/64" drill bit so the clevis does not bind.
Connect your radio system and plug the elevator servo into its proper slot in the receiver. Double-check that the
elevator trim lever on your transmitter is centered.
Use several pieces of masking tape to hold both elevator halves centered.
Step 3: Adjusting the Pushrods & Control Throws
With your radio system plugged in and turned on, check to make sure that both elevator halves and the servo are
centered. Make adjustments to the clevises if necessary. Double-check that the elevator halves are moving in the
proper direction.

Slide the plain end of one 2mm x 255mm threaded wire
into the back of each nylon pushrod tube.
Thread the wires into the tubes until 1/2" of threaded
wire extends past the end of each tube.
Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the ends of the
tubes. The C/A will "wick" into the tubes, securing the
wires firmly in place.
Slide the pushrod tubes into the two middle pushrod
housings and install the servo horn to the servo, making
sure it's centered and points toward the throttle servo as
shown.
Slide the clear tubing up over the clevis and install the
servo horn retaining screw to secure the servo horn into place.
Using a modeling knife, cut two 1/4" long pieces of clear
tubing and slide one piece onto two nylon clevises.
Thread the clevises onto the ends of the pushrod wires
and snap the clevises into the second hole out from the base
of the control horns.
Slide the clear tubing up over the clevises to keep them
from opening during flight.
