q Repeat the previous procedures to install the second threaded coupler onto one end of the other length of cable.
IMPORTANT When installed in the next procedure, make sure that the two rudder pull-pull cables are installed under the fuselage
bulkhead cross-braces.
q Use a couple of pieces of masking tape, taped between the rudder and the stabiliser, to hold the rudder centred.
q Centre the rudder servo, then install the servo horn onto the servo, making sure that it's centred.
q After the C/A fully cures, thread one adjustable control horn onto each end
of the threaded rod, making sure that both control horns are even with the
outside edge of the threaded rod.
q Using a pair of wire cutters, carefully cut the stranded pull-pull cable exactly
in half.
+
If the ends of the cable begin to unravel, use your fingers to twist the ends
back into shape.
q Slide one crimp collet, non-flanged side first, over one end of one cable.
q While holding the collet in place so it doesn't slide off, carefully thread the
same end of the cable through the hole in one threaded coupler.
q Loop the cable around the threaded coupler and slide the end of the cable
back through the crimp collet.
q Carefully squeeze the crimp collet, using a pair of pliers, to lock the cable
into place.
q Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the crimp collet. The C/A will "wick"
between the crimp collet and the cable, making the joint even stronger. do not
omit this procedure.
q Thread one 2mm hex nut onto two threaded couplers, then thread one clevis
onto each of the two threaded couplers.
q Feed the plain end of each of the two lengths of pull-pull cable through the
exit slots in the sides of the fuselage and into the servo compartment.
q Snap each clevis into the hole in the adjustable control horns.
