route with the cables.
Route the cotter pins through the holes in the micro connectors, pushing them through

Attach the other end of the cable to the control horn, using the outside holes for the

elevator and the inner holes for the rudder. With the control surface straight back,
tighten the thread so that it's snug but not too tight, and tie it off.
Set the knot with a small drop of CA and remove the extra material.

Repeat for the other three cables.

Step 13: Installing the Aileron Servo
Next, you are going to install the aileron servo.
You will need:
•
1 - 1/32" x 18" thin music wire for the pushrods (Wire)
•
2 Micro pushrod adjuster (Bagged Parts)

Installing the servo
Flow some thin CA where the servo will be mounted. Make sure you allow the glue to

Using a 4" length of the wire, z-bend one end and insert it into the outermost hole of

Correct Control Horn Hole Selection
Hole closer to the control surface = more throw
Hole further from the control surface = less throw
Attach the micro pushrod adjuster to the outermost hole of the servo horn.

Center the aileron and then tighten the pushrod adjuster over the pushrod.

Repeat Steps 3-7 for the second pushrod.
