6. Bend one of the elevator pushrod wires as shown. Align
both the left and right elevator halves. Apply a couple of drops
of thread locker onto two 4-40 x 1/8" [3.2mm] set screws
and then install them into two 5/32" wheel collars. Slide the
wheel collars onto both of the wires. On the wire you made
the bends, make a mark where the outer wheel collar rests.
Cut off the excess wire. Tighten the set screws against the
pushrod wires.
❏
7. As you did with the rudder, make a mark on the remaining
elevator pushrod wire where it aligns with the outer hole in
the servo arm. Make a 90 degree bend at the mark and cut
off the excess pushrod 1/4" [6mm] beyond the bend. Secure
the pushrod to the servo arm with a nylon FasLink. Make any
adjustments necessary to the nylon clevis so that the elevator
is properly centered.
If you will be installing an electric motor skip the next
step and move ahead to "Installing the Electric Motor
on page 17.

8. Though the engine has not been installed yet, determine
which side of the fuselage to install the throttle servo based
on the location of the throttle arm on the engine. Install the
servo as shown using the hardware that came with the servo.
Drill a 5/64" hole in the outer servo arm hole.

1. The fuel tank will be assembled as a three line system
having a vent line, carb line, and fi ll line. Puncture the top
of the stopper above the sealed off fuel tube hole. With the
tubes installed in the stopper, fi t the stopper plates loosely in
place with the 3x25mm phillips screw to hold the assembly
together. The fi ll and carb tubes should extend out 1/2" [13mm]
beyond the stopper and the vent line should be bent upwards
and left uncut.

2. Fit the stopper assembly into the tank with the vent line
pointing toward the top of the tank, but not touching. The fuel
