Section 6: Installing the Control Linkages

Step 17. Center the rudder servo, making sure the servo arm

is 90-degrees to the control rod when it's attached. Use a felt

tipped pen and place a mark on the unthreaded end of the 6" rod

where it passes over the servo control arm.

Step 18. Using needle-nose or standard pliers, make a 90-

degree bend at the marked location on the rod (Note: You bend

the wire up). You bend the wire up because the wire will be

inserted into the bottom of the servo arm so the wire keeper can

be inserted over the end of the wire (see Step 20 photo). Cut off

the excess rod (leave about

and also engage wire keeper).

Step 19. Insert the bend into the servo arm's innermost hole.

Use the nylon wire keeper to hold the rod in place on the servo

arm. Be sure it snaps in place.

Step 20. Insert the elevator pushrod into the fuselage threaded

end first. The rod will exit the opening at the rear of the fuselage.

Place a clevis lock (small round piece of tubing) onto the rod.

Screw on the clevis at least 10 turns. Connect the clevis to the

elevator control horn on the second hole from the bottom (use

base of control horn as a reference). Use the clevis lock to pre-

vent accidental opening of the clevis.

Step 21. You will build the elevator pushrod using the same

method as you used to build the rudder pushrod. Center the

elevator servo, making sure the servo arm is 90-degrees to the

control rod. Use a felt tipped pen to place a mark on the pushrod

wire where it passes the elevator servo arm (innermost hole on

the servo arm).

Step 22. Use a needle-nose or standard pliers to make a

90-degree bend at the marked location on the rod. Remember

to bend the rod "up." Cut off the excess rod leaving about

remaining to engage the servo arm and wire keeper.

Step 23. Insert the bend into the servo arm's innermost hole.

Use the nylon wire keeper to hold the rod in place on the servo

arm. Make sure it clicks into place.
