Required Tools and Fasteners: Elevator and Rudder Pushrod Assemblies #1 Phillips Screwdriver
(4) M2x10 Phillips Head Machine Screw #2 Phillips Screwdriver
(4) M2 Flat Washer Needle-Nosed Pliers (or Hemostats)

1. Locate the rudder and elevator pushrod assemblies, as well as the servo arms and hardware. Note that both pushrods and servo arms are
the same length so they can be used in either position. Use the charts on the previous page as reference for the pushrod installation
locations.
2. Power on your transmitter, and move your Gyro Kill switch (assigned on page 12 of this manual) to Gyro O. Power on the airplane, and
confirm the gyro is o in the Aura by rotating the airplane quickly, and verifying that you get no gyro controlled servo movement.
3. With the aircraft still powered on, install the rudder and elevator servo arms perpendicular to the servo case, being sure to orient the servo
arm towards the bottom of the fuselage. Apply blue thread lock to the M3x6 Phillips head machine screw, and secure the servo arm in place
using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
4. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver, M2x10 machine screw, M2 washer and M2 lock nut to secure the linkage to both the control horn and the
servo arm. DO NOT use thread lock, as thread lock can damage the plastic in the nut, as well as the control horn. Note that the rudder
ball link should be placed below the rudder control horn. The order of components is as follows:
1. M2x10 Machine Screw
2. M2 Washer
3. Ball Link
4. Servo Arm or Control Horn
5. M2 Lock Nut
5. Repeat the process for the other control linkage.
