Step 8.1 Install Servos

8.1.1 Using the mounting screws that came
with your servos, mount the rudder
and elevator servos in the fuselage
servo tray.
Note: It is recommended to test and
center the servos prior to installation.
8.1.2 Print out the drawing of the elevator and rudder pushrods on the
following page to aid in bending the threaded end of the 30" long 2mm
(or 2-56) diameter wire to the proper shapes. You will need two pushrods
for the elevator halves, and one pushrod for the rudder. Slide the pushrods
into th guide tubes built into the fuselage and trim the pushrods to length
to line up with the elevator and rudder servos. Make sure to leave some
excess length for running through a pushrod connector or creating a z-bend.
8.1.3 Install the servo control arms and attach the pushrods to the servos
with a z-bend or with a pushrod connector.
8.1.4 Screw the nylon or steel kwik-links onto the threaded ends of the rudder
and elevator pushrods and attach them to the control surfaces.
