5. Thread a nylon clevis with silicone clevis retainer onto a
32-3/4" [832mm] pushrod 20 complete turns. Slide the pushrod
into the elevator pushrod tube and temporarily connect the
clevis to the third outer hole from the base of the elevator
control horn. Use tape or a small clamp to hold the elevator
in the neutral position. Make a mark on the pushrod where it
crosses the hole in the elevator servo arm.

6. Remove the pushrod from the fuselage. As you did with
the aileron pushrods, make a 90 degree bend at the mark you
made and cut off the excess pushrod 1/4" [6.4 mm] beyond
the bend. In order to reinstall the pushrod into the fuselage,
you will need to fi rst remove the clevis. Reinsert the pushrod
through the elevator pushrod, thread the clevis back onto
the pushrod 20 turns and reconnect it to the outer hole of
the elevator control horn. Connect the forward end of the
pushrod to the elevator servo arm and secure it with a nylon
FasLink. Make any adjustments to the position of the clevis
on the pushrod to ensure that the elevator is centered with
the servo centered. When satisfi ed, slide the silicone clevis
retainer to the end of the clevis.
