Section 15: Installing the Linkages
14. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing over the end of the
pushrod dowel and use a heat gun to shrink it in place over the
rod/dowel connection.
15. Locate the extra length of rod from Step 6. Using a needle
nose pliers, make a 90 degree bend 1/4'' from one end of this
rod.
16. Insert the 90 degree bend into the remaining hole of the
pushrod dowel and saturate it with thick CA glue where the rod
contacts the dowel.
17. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing over the end of the
pushrod dowel and shrink it into place using a heat gun. The
completed rudder pushrod is shown below.

18. Carefully cut away the covering on the aft side at the tail
where the rudder pushrod will exit.
19. Insert the rudder pushrod assembly, threaded end first, into
the fuselage so the threaded end exits the rudder pushrod hole
in the fuselage.
20. Screw on a clevis 12 complete turns. Fasten the clevis in
the third hole from the inside of the rudder control horn.
Note: It's a good idea to place a piece of fuel tubing (7mm
long) over the clevis as extra insurance to prevent the
clevis from accidentally coming open.
