torque rods. When satisfied with the fit, use 6-minute epoxy
to glue the servo tray to the fuselage sides.
3. Use a servo arm that has a pushrod mounting hole
approximately 7/16" [11mm] out from the center of the arm
for the elevator servo. Trim the servo arm so that only one
arm remains.
4. Cut the gray outer pushrod 20" [508mm] long. Sand
the outside of the tube with 320-grit sandpaper and wipe it
off with a paper towel dampened with rubbing alcohol.
5. Insert the outer pushrod tube from the aft end of the
fuselage. The forward end of the pushrod should be even
with the aft edge of the wing saddle. Glue the outer pushrod
to the aft brace, pre-installed in the aft end of the fuselage,
by holding the fuselage with its nose down and dripping a
couple of drops of CA onto the joint between the outer
pushrod and aft brace.
6. Cut the 36" [914mm], threaded on one end pushrod
25" [635mm] long, measured from the threaded end.
7. From the remaining white tube, cut four 1/4" [6.3mm]
long pushrod guides. Slide the four guides onto the 25"
[635mm] pushrod. The first guide should be positioned
approximately 4-1/2" [114mm] from the threaded end.
Space the remaining three 4-1/2" [114mm] apart. Glue the
guides to the pushrod with a drop of thin CA.
8. Insert the non threaded end of the pushrod in the outer
pushrod tube. Align the end of the pushrod with the hole in
the servo horn, 7/16" from the center of the servo horn. Use
6-minute epoxy to glue the forward pushrod tube brace to
the inside of the fuselage, on the right side. The slot in the
brace will allow you to adjust the position of the outer pushrod
tube so that it is straight before gluing it to the brace.
9. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the battery tray in the
bottom of the fuselage. The tray should be centered
between the servo tray and the front of the wing saddle.
