2. Insert the pushrods into the tubes in the fuselage.
Hold the horn against the control surface (see sketch
above for correct alignment). Note: Be sure that the control
horn positions match those in the photo. The pushrod
should not be bent and should slide easily in the tube. Mark
the location for the horn screws on the control surface. Drill
the 3/32" [2.4mm] horn screw holes through the control
surface. Mount the horn tightly in place with two 2-56
machine screws and the horn backing plate. Repeat for
the other control surface as shown.

3. Install a Screw-Lock Pushrod Connector with a
4-40 x 1/8" [3.2mm] cap screw on the throttle and rudder
servo horns. Snap the nylon retainer onto the pushrod
connector post beneath the servo horn. Use the photo for
the correct positioning of the connectors.

4. Center the elevator, then mark the pushrod where
it crosses the servo horn hole. Enlarge the servo horn hole
with a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit. Make a 90 degree bend in the
pushrod on the mark. Cut off the excess wire 3/8" [9.5mm]
below the bend. Insert the bent wire through the enlarged
hole in the servo horn. Secure it in place with a Nylon
FasLink. (Doesn't this sound similar to the same procedure
used for the aileron pushrods?) Note the position of the
FasLink in step 7.

5. Repeat step 4 for the rudder pushrod.

6. Assemble the 17-1/2" [444mm] throttle pushrod by
installing a nylon clevis and silicone retainer onto the
threaded end. Slide the throttle pushrod into its outer tube
(from the firewall in), then through the pushrod connector
on the servo throttle. Attach the clevis to the control arm of
the carburetor.
