2. Fit the pushrods into the middle hole in the elevator
control horn and into the lowest hole—the one closest to the
surface of the rudder—in the rudder control horn. Secure the
pushrods with micro Faslinks—sometimes it's easiest fi rst
to slide the Faslinks over the pushrods, then to insert the
pushrod in the control horn. Then, holding the Faslink on the
pushrod, slide the Faslink forward and fi t it over the L-bend
in the pushrod.

3. Prepare the servo arms for the elevator and rudder
servos—this time, make a 1/2" [12mm – 13mm] servo arm
for the rudder so you can get the correct control throw.
❏
4. Fasten the screw-lock connectors to the servo arms
where shown with the retainers and temporarily lock the
pushrods to the retainers with the small screws.

Assemble the Ducted Fan

❏
1. Remove the female "bullet" connectors from the ducted
fan motor (not included). These will not be used because
the recommended SS-25 ESC already has connectors on
the wires.
❏
2. Fit the brass fan adapter shaft over the motor shaft—be
certain one of the two holes in the adapter for the set screws
is aligned over the fl at spot on the motor shaft. Also be certain
the adapter is pressed all the way onto the motor shaft.
❏
3. Barely wet the threads of both 3mm set screws with
threadlocker and thread them into the adapter. Making sure
the longer of the two set screws goes over the fl at spot on
the motor shaft, use the included 1.5mm hex key wrench (or
a high-quality hex key wrench as recommended in the front
of the manual) to tighten the screws.
