q (1) Adjustable Pushrod Connector with Nut and Grub Screw
q (1) 1.5mm Hex Wrench
THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS FROM THE KIT:
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
q Thin C/A
q # 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
q Wire Cutters
q Needle Nose Pliers
q Modeling Knife
q Electric Drill
q 1/16" (1.6mm), 5/64" (2mm) and 5/32" (4mm) Drill Bits
q Straight Edge Ruler
q Pencil
q Rotary Tool with Sanding Drum
q Install the throttle servo into the forward mounting hole in the plywood servo
tray that's on the same side of the fuselage as your engine's throttle arm, making
sure to drill 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter pilot holes for the servo mounting screws.
IMPORTANT Note the orientation of the servo. When installed, the servo
output shaft should be toward the back of the fuselage.
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE THROTTLE PUSHROD WIRE
IMPORTANT If you haven't already done so, you should pivot your engine's throttle arm so that it points toward the outside edge of
the engine mounting box. In most cases, the throttle pushrod wire will be installed toward the outside edge of the engine mounting box,
as shown in these assembly instructions. If your engine's throttle arm does not extend beyond the outside edge of the engine mounting
box, the throttle pushrod wire can be run through the engine mounting box. Just be sure not to interfere with the fuel tank.
q Mark the location of the throttle pushrod exit hole on the front of the fuselage.
IMPORTANT Mark the position of the throttle pushrod exit hole as close
to the same height as your engine's throttle arm as possible and as close to
the side of the engine mounting box as possible.
q Drill a 5/32" (4mm) diameter hole through the front of the fuselage at the mark
you drew.
+
We suggest that you temporarily remove the engine to make it easier to
drill the hole accurately.
q Use a rotary tool with a sanding drum to cut a shallow notch in the edge of
the fuel tank support bulkhead for the pushrod wire to pass through.
IMPORTANT If you've had to install the throttle pushrod wire through the
engine mounting box, you will need to drill a hole through the fuel tank support
bulkhead for the throttle pushrod wire to pass through.
