Rudder Controls
Collect these parts.
ÿ 1 rudder servo and mounting hardware
ÿ 1 rudder wire cable
ÿ 4 cable crimp fittings
ÿ 4 cable clevises
ÿ 4 cable clevis nuts
ÿ 2 control horn trumpet bases
ÿ 1 trumpet screw
ÿ 2 trumpet clevises. (black plastic)
Assemble the pullpull cables and clevises. Thread one cable crimp
fitting over the cable. Thread the cable through the clevis and then
though the crimp fitting. When satisfied with the fit, crimp the fitting.
Note: You may also want to add a piece of shrink tubing to cover
over the crimped joint.
Install the rudder servo inside the fuse using the supplied hardware
with your radio in the center position of the servo rail inside the fuse.
Using a sharp Xacto knife, remove the covering from the servo and
pullpull rudder cable cut outs in both sides of the fuse.
Cut the supplied pullpull cable into 2 equal lengths. You will notice
they are very long which will make it much easier to thread through the
fuse later.
Note: Save the scrap pieces if you want to install optional flying wires
from the stab to vertical fin on both sides.
The rudder has 2 trumpet bases that screw together through the rudder.
Position on trumpet base at the edge of the rudder beveled edge ¾"
from the bottom of the rudder. Mark the spot and drill 3/32" dia. hole
through the rudder. Install the trumpets with the supplies hardware.
Do not over tighten the screws.
Note: Strengthen the holes by applying a few drops of thin CA glue
in both holes to reduce the amount of balsa compression.
Install the rear rudder clevises onto the trumpets.
