Note: When using a servo with less than
300 oz/in of torque, it is highly recommended
to use two rudder servos and link them
together using a JR MatchBox. An additional
servo location on the opposite side of the
fuselage will require the removal of the
covering to install your second servo.

Step 1
Secure a 24-inch (610mm) servo extension to the rudder
servo. Mount the servo in the fuselage as shown.
• Control horn (2)
• Fuselage
• Tiller arm
• Steering spring (2)
• Drill

Step 2
Assemble the rudder linkage using a 4
linkage, ball end and control horn. The control horn is
then threaded on the control horn screw so the bottom of
the horn is 5/8-inch (16mm) from the control surface.

Step 3
Attach the rudder to the fin/fuselage using the hinge pin
located in the hinges.
Hint: Use a drill to aid in installing
the hinge wire. This will help guide the
wire through each of the hinges.
