Section 16: Throttle Linkage Installation - Model Tech Simply Magic Instructions For Final Assembly

SECTION 16: THROTTLE LINKAGE INSTALLATION

(1) 26-1/4" Pushrod Wire w/Z-Bend
Kwik Bond Thin C/A
# 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
Wire Cutters
Needle Nose Pliers
Step 1: Installing the Throttle Pushrod Wire
Remove the throttle arm from your engine and install the Z-Bend in the pushrod wire into the outermost hole in the
throttle arm.
You may need to enlarge the hole in your engine's throttle arm using a 5/64" diameter drill bit.
Step 2: Installing the Adjustable Servo Connector
Using a modeling knife, cut away all but one arm from a small "4-point" servo horn.
To prevent the connector nut from loosening during flight, apply a drop of thin C/A to it. Allow the C/A to dry before
proceeding.
Connect your radio system and plug the throttle servo (forward-most servo) into the receiver. Check to ensure that
the throttle servo output shaft is rotating in the correct direction. When the throttle control stick is moved forward, from
the idle to the full throttle position, the servo output shaft should rotate clockwise. If it doesn't, flip the servo reversing
switch on your transmitter.

Slide the pushrod wire through the hole you drilled in the
firewall and on through the predrilled holes in the forward
bulkhead and the center bulkhead.
Reinstall the throttle arm onto your engine.
IMPORTANT
Depending on where you drilled the hole in the firewall, you
may need to bend the pushrod wire so it lines up better with
the throttle arm.
Enlarge the third hole out from the center of the servo
arm using a 5/64" drill bit.
Install the adjustable servo connector into the servo arm.
IMPORTANT
When threading on the connector nut, don't
tighten the nut completely. You don't want the connector loose,
but you do want it to be able to rotate without binding.
