Push Rod Guides

Rudder Guides are installed on the left side of
the upper fuselage. Locate approx as shown,
use one of the long carbon rods to help located
the Guides in a straight line and for correct
rudder control horn position. A small slit in
the foam with a hobby knife and sanding a
slight "chisel" shape to the guide will make it
easier when poking the ends into the foam
Elevator Guides are installed on the right-
upper side of the fuselage horizontal deck.
Again, use one of the long carbon rods to
ensure a straight run and alignment with the
elevator control horn
