2. Connect the aft end of the pushrods to the control
horns on the elevator and rudder. If necessary, make small
bends in the pushrods to get them to align with the holes in
the horns. Be certain there is a small amount of sideways
tension in the rods so they remain connected to the horns.

3. Use a #11 blade to cut a slit in the center of the bottom
of the fuse and in the rudder to accommodate a hinge.
❏
4. Use epoxy to glue the hinge into the slots you cut in
the rudder and the fuse.
❏
5. Temporarily connect the speed control and servos to
the receiver. Connect the charged battery to the speed
control. Turn on the transmitter, then center the trims. If the
servo arms are not centered, remove the arms from the
servos and center the arms.
❏
6. With the pushrods connected to the servos and the
control surfaces, position the servo trays so the elevator and
rudder are neutral. Carefully glue the servo trays to the crutch.
