Utilizzare il nastro adesivo per ottenere l'elevatore in posizione.
3 4 5 Thread a cable coupler slightly less than halfway into the clevis. This is to allow for adjustments to take up any excess slack in the cables that will occur over time. Place the elevator servo arm on the servo output shaft perpendicular to servo case. Position the arm as close as possible without the need to use the sub-trim feature of the radio. Mark the arms on the horn that will remain as the other arms will be removed in the following steps.
6 7 8 Slide a piece of silicon tubing over the end of the clevis. Attach clevis to the holes of servo arm that are 10mm from the center of the servo horn. Slide tubing over forks to secure the clevises to the horn. Slide a sleeve over the end of the lower left cable inside the fuselage. Pass the cable through the cable coupler, then back through the sleeve. Loop the cable through the sleeve a second time. Position the cable so there isn’t any excess cable beyond the sleeve.
9 10 11 Tighten the loop from the previous step so it lays flat against the sleeve. Use a crimping tool to secure the sleeve to the cable. Trim the excess cable past the outside of the sleeve. Repeat the previous three steps to secure the upper right cable to the remaining cable coupler. Install the elevator servo arm perpendicular to servo case. Position the arm as close as possible without the need to use the sub-trim feature of the radio.

Schneiden Sie überflüssigen Bowdenzug mit dem Seitenschneider ab.
18 Secure the cable using the procedure described for the previous sleeves, again making sure the cables are not wrapped around anything or another cable and run straight. These cables will have a slight amount of slack in comparison to the main cables that operate the elevator. Sichern Sie den Bowdenzug in der Quetschhülse mit den vorher beschriebenen Schritten und achten bitte darauf, dass sie im Rumpf gerade laufen und nicht um einen anderen Bowdenzug gewickelt sind.
19 Back inside the airplane, slide a sleeve onto the lower right cable and thread the end through the left cable coupler, crossing the cable inside the fuselage. Secure the cable using the procedure as described for the previous sleeves. The cable makes a 180° bend around the servo arm and passes back through the sleeve. The second loop is not necessary for this step as this allows for adjusting the tension later. Repeat the process for the upper left cable, this time going to the right threaded coupler.
