Step 15
Use diagonal cutters to trim the excess wire above the
link so it does not interfere with the operation of the radio
system. Leave a small amount of wire so the pushrod snap
link cannot accidentally slip up and over the wire.

Step 16
Slide the steering pushrod wire through the pushrod
connector. Use the screw from the servo and a #1 Phillips
screwdriver to attach the horn to the rudder servo.

Step 17
Center the nosewheel so it is aligned with the centerline of
the fuselage. Use a 3mm x 3mm setscrew and 1.5mm hex
wrench to tighten the setscrew that secures the steering
pushrod wire. Make sure to use threadlock on the setscrew.
Note: If you find that your model does not track straight
on the ground, loosen the setscrew to adjust the steering.
Do not use the rudder trim to adjust the steering. Use the
rudder trim for in-flight corrections only.

Step 18
If you are going to step away from your model, make sure to
turn off both the transmitter and receiver.
