❏
16. Insert the 12" [305mm] outer pushrod tube through
the fi rewall and former but do not glue it yet. The front of the
pushrod tube should protrude approximately 3/8" [9.5mm]
beyond the front of the fi rewall.
❏
17. Thread a nylon clevis with silicone clevis retainer onto
the 36" pushrod. Insert the pushrod into the outer pushrod
tube. Make any necessary bends on the pushrod so that the
clevis can connect to the throttle arm without binding.
❏
18. The aft end of the pushrod should pass through the
screw-lock connector. Adjust the pushrod position in the
connector so that the throttle servo properly opens and
closes the carburetor. When satisfi ed, tighten the SHCS in
the connector against the pushrod and cut off the excess
pushrod 1/4" [6mm] behind the connector. Use the radio
system to test the operation of the throttle.
❏
19. Sand the outer pushrod tube in the location of the
pushrod clip and the forward end. Use the plywood pushrod
clip to secure the outer pushrod tube to one of the fuselage
formers. Thoroughly glue the clip in place. Apply some CA
glue where the outer pushrod tube passes through the fi rewall.
