3. Remove the elevator from the stab. Drill 3/32" holes
through the elevator, at the marks. Mount the control horn
with two 2-56 x 5/8" machine screws and the nylon
mounting plate on the other side of the elevator. Cut off the
excess screws.
4. Re-install the elevator on the stab and glue the hinges
with CA. Attach the clevis to the control horn.
Install the Rudder
1. Slide a crimp fitting on one end of the rudder cable.
Insert the cable through the bottom hole in the threaded
cable connector and back through the crimp fitting. Crimp
the fitting down tightly on the cable.
2. Thread a nylon clevis 14 turns onto the threaded
cable connector. Install a silicone clevis retainer on the clevis.
3. Repeat steps one and two to assemble a second
rudder cable.
4. Insert the two rudder cables in the exits on top of the
fuselage.
5. Temporarily attach the rudder to the fin. Do not glue
the hinges. Attach the left side clevis in the second hole from
the bottom of a small control horn.
6. Position the control horn on the rudder so that the horn
is approximately 5/8" [16mm] from the bottom of the rudder
and the clevis attachment holes are aligned with the leading
edge of the rudder. Mark on the rudder, the control horn
mounting holes.
7. Remove the rudder and drill a 3/32" [2.3mm] hole
through the rudder at both marks.
8. Mark the left rudder control horn with an "L." Remove
the control horn from the clevis and tack glue, back-to-back,
a second control horn to the left control horn. Drill a 1/16"
[1.5mm] hole through both control horn mounting holes in
the left control horn.
9. Attach the left and right control horns to the rudder with
two 2-56 x 5/8" machine screws. Trim off the excess screws.
10. Re-install the rudder on the fin and glue the CA
hinges with thin CA.
11. Attach the clevises in the second hole of each of the
control horns.
