Elevator Pushrod - Hangar 9 Solo Instruction Manual

Section 15: Installing the Linkages
21. Turn on both the transmitter and receiver. Adjust all the
trims on the transmitter to their neutral positions. Make sure the
rudder servo horn is in its neutral or electrical zero position
(refer to the "Centering Servos" Section on page 41). Center the
rudder servo and, using a felt tipped pen, place a mark on the
unthreaded end of the rudder pushrod assembly where it passes
the respective servo arm.
22. Using z-bend pliers, make a z-bend at the marked location
on the rod. Cut off the excess rod.
23. Insert the z-bend into the servo arm. It may be necessary to
enlarge the servo arm hole slightly to accept the z-bend.

Elevator Pushrod

24. If you did not do so in Section 8, Step 1, you will need to
carefully cut away the plastic covering at the rear of the fuselage
where the elevator pushrod will exit.
25. Repeat Steps 9–17 of this section to assemble the elevator
pushrod.
Note: The elevator pushrod dowel is long, so cut the
threaded music wire 5'' from the threaded end of the
rod. Cut the remaining piece of the music wire to a 6''
length. The threaded end will connect to the elevator
control horn.
26. Insert the elevator pushrod assembly, threaded end first,
into the fuselage so the threaded end exits the elevator pushrod
opening in the fuselage tail end.
27. Screw on a clevis 12 complete turns. Fasten the clevis in
the third hole from the inside of the elevator control horn.
Note: It's a good idea to place a piece of fuel tubing over the
clevis as extra insurance to prevent the clevis from
accidentally coming open.
