Main Landing Gear Installation - Model Tech Super Cub ARF Assembly Instructions Manual

STeP 2: iNSTAlliNG The ThroTTle PuShroD Wire
q Mark the location of the throttle pushrod exit hole on the firewall.
IMPORTANT Mark the position of the hole as close to the same height
as the throttle arm as possible to prevent having to make bends in the
pushrod wire.
q Drill a 5/32" (4mm) diameter hole through the firewall for the pushrod wire.
+
We suggest that you remove the engine and motor mounting beams to
make it easier to drill the hole accurately.
IMPORTANT If you're using a four-stroke engine, we suggest elongating the pushrod hole slightly to ensure that the pushrod wire
doesn't bind when the throttle is opened and closed.
q Drill a 5/32" (4mm) diameter hole through the fuel tank support bulkhead,
making sure that the hole is lined up as closely as possible with the hole in
the firewall.
q Install the Z-Bend in the pushrod wire into the outermost hole in your engine's
throttle arm, then slide the pushrod wire through the hole both in the firewall
and the fuel tank support bulkhead, then reinstall your engine.
q Open and close the carburetor several times to ensure that the pushrod wire
does not bind. Depending on the engine you're using, it might be necessary to
make a shallow bend in the pushrod wire to achieve perfect alignment.
STeP 3: iNSTAlliNG The ADJuSTAble PuShroD CoNNeCTor
q Cut away all but one arm from a "4-point" servo horn, then enlarge the hole
in the servo arm that is 1/2" (13mm) out from the centre of the servo horn, using
a 5/64" (2mm) diameter drill bit.
q Install the adjustable pushrod connector onto the servo arm, making sure
not to tighten the nut too tightly. You don't want the pushrod connector loose,
but it should be able to rotate without binding.
IMPORTANT To prevent the nut from loosening during flight, apply a drop of thin C/A to it.
q Connect your radio system and check that the throttle servo output shaft is rotating in the correct direction, then position the throttle
control stick and the throttle trim lever to their lowest positions.

STeP 3: iNSTAlliNG The TAil Wheel
q Centre the rudder, then loosen the machine screw in the steering arm and align the tail wheel wire with the bottom of the rudder.
When satisfied with the alignment, tighten the machine screw firmly.
q Slide the nylon spacer onto the axle, followed by the tail wheel.
q Secure the tail wheel to the axle, using the wheel collar and one M3 x 6mm
machine screw. After tightening the machine screw, make sure that the tail
wheel spins freely.
