Install The Elevator And Rudder Servos - GREAT PLANES Revolver .61 Instruction Manual

rudder to the fi n. Position the rudder and then apply six
drops of thin CA to each of the hinges. Set the plane aside
until the glue hardens.
❏
13. Secure the tail wheel to the tail wheel assembly
with a 3/32" [2.4mm] wheel collar and a 4-40 set screw. Be
sure that the tail wheel rotates freely on the axle. Oil the
axle if necessary.
❏
14. Thread a nylon clevis 20 complete turns onto the
remaining 36" [914mm] pushrod. Slide a silicone clevis
retainer onto the clevis and connect the clevis to the second
hole from the end of the control horn. Slide the pushrod wire
into the lower hole on the left side of the fuselage. Slide
the wire into the fuselage until the control horn rests on the
plywood plate in the rudder. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes at the
marks. Do not drill all the way through the rudder! Thread
a #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] screw into each hole and back it out.
Apply a couple drops of thin CA glue to each hole and let it
harden. Attach the rudder control horn to the rudder using
two #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] screws.
Install the Elevator & Rudder Servos
❏
1. Install the elevator servo into the servo tray with the
hardware that came with the servo. Locate the servo where
shown. Align the last hole in the servo arm with the pushrod
wire for the left elevator. Center the left elevator half. Make
a mark on the wire where it aligns with the outer hole in
the servo arm. Make a 90 degree bend at the mark on the
pushrod and cut off the excess pushrod 1/4" [6.4mm] beyond
the bend.
❏
2. Position the right elevator in the neutral position and
then cut off the excess pushrod wire 1" [25.4mm] behind the
elevator servo arm. Join the two elevator pushrods together
using two 5/32" [4mm] wheel collars, two 6-32 x 1/4" [6.4mm]
SHCS and thread locking compound. View the model from
behind and confi rm that the elevator halves are parallel. If
not, make any adjustments as necessary to the clevises or
wheel collars until they are. When satisfi ed, slide the silicone
clevis retainer to the end of the clevises. Drill a 5/64" [2mm]
hole in the outer hole in the servo arm and then secure the
elevator pushrod wire to the servo with a nylon Faslink.
