Step 8
Place the remaining piece of flat foam over the receiver
and receiver battery. Slide the radio tray into the notches
on the sides of the fuel tank. Secure the radio tray using
the 4-40 x 1/2" socket head screw and #4 washer.
Hint: The radio tray will only fit if the fuel tank
is seated with the stopper in the opening in the
firewall. You may have to wiggle the tank to get
it to seat properly.
Note: Make sure to leave the aileron extension
and the charge lead from the switch harness
where they can be accessed later.

Step 9
Slide the pushrods into the tube pre-installed in the
fuselage. The pushrod for the elevator is 23
in length, while the pushrod for the rudder is 26"
(660mm) in length.

Step 10
Enlarge the outer hole in the rudder and elevator servo
arms using a 5/64" (2mm) drill bit.

Step 11
Remove the excess arms from the servo horn. Slide the
pushrod wire into the hole drilled in the previous step.
Slide a nylon pushrod keeper onto the wire from the
opposite side of the servo arm. The keeper then "swings"
over and snaps onto the pushrod wire to keep the wire
from coming out of the servo arm.
