2. Hook up the throttle using the 20" [508mm] pushrod
and a nylon clevis on the carburetor arm. The location of the
carburetor arm may vary between engine brands so you may
need to cut a new hole in the fi rewall for the guide tube that
aligns with your carburetor arm. If you do, mark the location
of the new hole, remove the engine if necessary, and then
use an extended 3/16" [4.8mm] drill (available at hardware
or home improvement stores) or a 3/16" [4.8mm] brass tube
sharpened on the end to cut a new hole in the fi rewall. Install
a nylon clevis onto the threaded end of the pushrod wire
approximately 20 turns. Slide a silicone clevis keeper over
the clevis. Bend the pushrod wire as shown and then install
the pushrod wire into the pushrod tube and attach the clevis
to the carburetor arm.

3. Connect the throttle pushrod to the throttle servo using
a nylon Faslink in the same way as you did with the ailerons.
