Model Tech SE5a SCOUT Instructions For Final Assembly page 23

STEP 2: ASSEMBLING THE ELEVATOR AND RUDDER PUSHRODS
Using a modeling knife, cut both of the 26" long nylon pushrod tubes to a length of 19-3/4" long.
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE ELEVATOR PUSHROD ASSEMBLY
Install the elevator and rudder servos into the cutouts in the
plywood servo tray, making sure to first drill 1/16" diameter
pilot holes for the mounting screws.
IMPORTANT The servo output shafts should be toward
the back of the fuselage, as shown.
Slide the plain end of one 7" long threaded pushrod wire
into one end of each nylon pushrod tube.
Thread the wires into the tubes until 1/2" of threaded wire
extends past the end of the tubes.
Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the end of the tubes.
The C/A will "wick" into the tubes, securing the wires firmly
in place.
Thread one 2-1/8" threaded wire w/Z-Bend into the other
end of each nylon pushrod tube until the Z-Bend is 1-1/2" past
the end of the tubes.
Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the end of the tubes.
The C/A will "wick" into the tubes, securing the wires firmly
in place.
IMPORTANT When assembled, the pushrods should
be 21-3/4" long overall.
Install the Z-Bend in one pushrod assembly into a hole that
is 5/16" out from the center of a plastic servo wheel.
You may need to enlarge the hole in the servo wheel,
using a 5/64" diameter drill bit, so that the Z-Bend will fit.
IMPORTANT The pushrod wire should be orientated
on top of the servo wheel, as shown.
