Section 14: Landing Gear Installation - Model Tech SE5a SCOUT Instructions For Final Assembly

Connect your radio system and plug the aileron servo into the receiver. Double-check that the aileron trim lever on your
transmitter is centered. Double-check that the bottom wing aileron is centered, too.
Use a couple of pieces of masking tape, taped between the aileron and the top wing, to hold the aileron centered.
Remove the masking tape from the aileron and double-check that both ailerons are still centered. If the ailerons are not
centered, adjust the clevis until they are. Move the ailerons up and down several times to ensure that the pushrod interlink
assembly does not bind and to ensure that both ailerons move up and down the same amount.
Repeat the previous procedures to install the second aileron interlink pushrod assembly.

Thread one nylon clevis onto one of the 7-1/8" long aileron
interlink pushrod wires. When the clevis is in the correct
position, the distance between the 90º bend in the pushrod
wire and the nylon clevis pin should be 7-5/8".
Hold the pushrod wire with a pair of pliers to prevent it
from turning while installing the clevis.
Install the 90º bend in the pushrod wire into the outermost
hole in the top aileron control horn, using the nylon snap keeper
provided. When installing the snap keeper, make sure it "snaps"
firmly into place over the pushrod wire.
Snap the nylon clevis into the outermost hole in the
bottom wing control horn.
