1. Locate the items necessary to install the rudder and
elevator servo and associated linkages. You will also need to
have the fuselage for this section of the manual.

2. Prepare the rudder and elevator servos by using a
pin vise with a 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to enlarge the hole
in the arm that is 9/16-inch (14mm) from the center of the
servo horn. Use side cutters to remove the unused arm from
the elevator servo horn only so it won't interfere with the
operation of the servos.

4. (Fixed Gear Only) Use a 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to
enlarge the innder holes on the rudder servo horn. Insert
a brass pushrod connector in each hole as shown. This is
necessary as teh cable connecting to the fixed gear will be
secured directly to the steering arm. The retracts will have
the connectors at the steeting arm adn will not need this
adjustment at the rudder servo.
