the covering and apply a small amount of glue to the nylon
bearing. Insert the fi n into the slot in the fuselage, locking
it into the slot in the horizontal stabilizer. Clean any excess
glue with a paper towel moistened with rubbing alcohol. Make

1. Remove the top wing. This will provide access to the
servo compartment.
❏
2. Install a clevis and clevis keeper onto the threaded end
of the two 20" [508mm] pushrod wires the same as was done
for the ailerons.
❏
3. Slide the wire into the pushrod exit on the left side of
the fuselage. Using the pushrod as a guide, position a control
horn onto the elevator with the holes centered over the hinge
line. Mark the location of the screw holes. Drill a 3/32" [2.5mm]
hole through the elevator on each of the marks. Secure the
horn to the elevator with two 1/16" x ½" machine screws and
the nylon back plate.
❏
4. Remove the elevator pushrod from the fuselage. Bend
the wire as shown to allow the wire to be aligned with the
pushrod exit in the fuselage when the clevis is attached to
the control horn.
❏
5. Repeat step 3 for the rudder pushrod wire. Note: the
rudder pushrod will insert into the pushrod exit without bending
the wire.
