Use a couple of pieces of masking tape, taped between the aileron and the wing, to hold the aileron centered.
Remove the masking tape from the aileron and double-check that the servo arm and the aileron are still centered. If the
aileron is not centered, adjust the clevis until it is. Move the aileron up and down several times to ensure that the pushrod
assembly does not bind.
Repeat the previous procedures to install the second aileron pushrod assembly.
STEP 4: INSTALLING THE AILERON INTERLINK PUSHRODS
Carefully install the top and bottom wing assemblies onto the fuselage, including the outer strut assemblies.
PRO TIP
Remember, before installing the control horn, drip several drops of thin C/A into the pilot holes and allow
the C/A to fully cure. The C/A will harden the surrounding balsa, making the mounting area stronger.

Thread one nylon clevis onto the pushrod wire and snap it
into the outermost hole in the control horn.
Hold the pushrod wire with a pair of pliers to prevent it
from turning while installing the clevis.
Working with one half of the wing for now, install one nylon
control horn and backplate assembly onto the top of the
bottom wing aileron, using two M2 x 10mm machine screws.
When aligned properly, the centerline of the control horn should
be 1-7/8" out from the inside edge of the aileron and the base
of the control horn should be parallel to, and even with, the
trailing edge of the aileron. The clevis attachment holes will
hang past the trailing edge of the aileron. This is what you want.
IMPORTANT
The clevis attachment holes should be
toward the back of the airplane, as shown.
