nylon Faslink over the pushrod and snap it into place. Cut
the pushrod approximately 1/16" [2mm] above the Faslink
as shown in the photo.
9. Connect the pushrod to the outer hole in the rudder
servo arm using the Faslink. Reconnect the clevis on the
other end of the pushrod to the rudder control horn.
10. Cut the elevator pushrod and mount it to the elevator
servo arm the same way.
11. Use an extended 1/16" [1.6mm] drill, or a Great
Planes Engine Mount Hole Locator drill to drill holes into the
servo rails for mounting the servos–it's okay if some of the
holes are at an angle to clear the wing bolt plate. If you don't
have a drill that is long enough, you can make an extended
drill by gluing a 1/16" [1.6mm] drill in a 3/32" [2.4mm] brass
tube. After drilling the holes, the drill can be removed from
the tube by heating with a match or a small torch. Do not
inhale any of the fumes from heated glue!
12. Mount the servos using the wood screws that came
with them. Temporarily remove the screws, then harden each
screw hole with a few drops of thin CA. Allow to fully harden.
13. Install the fuel tank with the fuel lines. This can be done
by guiding extra-long lines through the holes in the firewall.
Connect the lines to the tank, then guide the tank into position
while simultaneously drawing the lines out. Cut the lines to the
correct length when connecting them to the engine.
14. Mount the engine mount and engine. Thread a nylon
clevis onto the remaining 36" [910mm] long pushrod. Cut
the pushrod to a length of 21" [530mm]. Bend the pushrod
as necessary so the clevis will align with the carburetor arm.
Guide the pushrod through the tube and connect the clevis
to the carburetor arm with a silicone retainer.
15. Connect the other end of the throttle pushrod to the
throttle servo arm using a brass screw-lock pushrod
connector with a nylon retainer and a 4-40 x 1/8" [3mm]
screw. Cut the pushrod so it protrudes approximately 1/2"
[10mm] from the connector.
Now the ailerons.
16. Cut a small notch in the aileron servo tray to
accommodate the aileron servo wire.
