Assemble & Install The Landing Gear - GREAT PLANES matt chapman eagle 580 Instruction Manual

❏
B. Trim the covering from the aft rudder servo bay on the
left side of the fuselage in the location shown. Attach a 16"
[406mm] servo extension to the rudder servo and secure
the connection with a piece of heat shrink tubing. Install the
servo using the hardware included with it. As you did with
the ailerons, fi nish the pushrod installation using a nylon
clevis, silicone clevis retainer, and a FasLink.
❏
6. Attach two 2-56 x 36" [914mm] pushrods with nylon
clevises and silicone clevis retainers to the second outer
holes in the elevator control horns (for 3D elevator throws,
use the second inner holes in the control horns).
❏
7. With the left elevator in the neutral position and the
elevator servo arm perpendicular to the servo case, mark
the location where the left elevator pushrod crosses the outer
hole of the elevator servo arm. Make a 90° bend at the mark
and cut off the excess pushrod 1/4" [6mm] beyond the bend.
Position the right elevator in the neutral position and cut off
the excess pushrod 1" [25mm] behind the elevator servo arm.
Join the two elevator pushrods together using two 5/32" [4mm]
wheel collars, two 6-32 x 1/4" [6mm] SHCS and threadlocking
compound. View the model from behind and confi rm that the
elevator halves are parallel. If not, make any adjustments as
necessary to the clevises or wheel collars until they are.
Assemble & Install the Landing Gear
❏
1. Secure the axles to the landing gear legs using the
5/16"-24 nylon lock nuts.
❏
2. Slide a 5/32" [4mm] wheel collar onto each axle followed
by a 2-3/4" [70mm] wheel and then another 5/32" [4mm]
wheel collar. Mark the location of the threaded holes in the
wheel collars onto the axles. Use a fi le or rotary tool such as
a Dremel to grind fl at spots at the marks on the axles.
