7. Install the rudder pushrod just as you did the elevator
pushrod. The clevis should be in the outer hole of the rudder
control horn.
❏
8. Cut off the threaded end from a 17-3/4" [451mm] pushrod.
Make a 90 degree bend 1/4" [6mm] from the end of the pushrod.
Make a very slight bend in the pushrod 3" [76mm] from the
other end of the pushrod. The bend should be made in the
orientation shown in the picture.
❏
9. Insert the pushrod you made in the previous step into
the steering pushrod tube and into the screw-lock pushrod
connector on the rudder servo. Fit the 90 degree bend in the
wire into the outer hole of the steering arm. Loosely thread a
4-40 x 1/4" [6.4mm] socket head cap screw into the screw-
lock connector.
❏
10. Center the nose gear so that it points straight ahead.
With the rudder servo still centered, use thread locking
compound, and tighten the socket head cap screw in the
screw-lock connector.
