Make up elevator horn. 1pr semetrical. Bearing is 55 mm from centre of screw to
to shaft(p30)
Trial fit JR8911 servo to elevator mount. The depth of the servo is EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT. We have deigned the mount for 8911 servos. Some shimming
may be needed to get correct height. The elevator horn must be as close as
possible to fuselage skin. When happy secure servo with 4 screws.
Fit servo horn and centre servo using radio. Remove
horn. Locate servo cover and mark location of horn.
Drill hole to clear horn, refit horn and cover.
Cut a slot slightly over size in the root of elevator to
hold bearing mount for elevator control. Trial fit the
elevator assembly with recess mount. NOTE: be-
cause of the angle of elevator shaft and rear fu-
selage, the slot WILL NOT be flush with
root of elevator. Do not glue flush!
Mix 30 minute epoxy and fill slot in root of elevator
with glue. Use some oil/wax over the servo horn and
root of elevator. This will prevent gluing horn to eleva-
tor.
While glue still wet, fit elevator with bearing mount
over servo horn and keep in position till glue set. Un-
clip elevator and check operation. Careful planning is
needed.
Make sure the elevator is clipped before each flight.
(p32).
Run servo wires away from tailpipe. Repeat for other
elevator.
