q Thread one 3mm lock nut onto the M3 x 70mm threaded rod so that the
base of the lock nut is 1-3/16" (30mm) away from the end of the threaded rod.
q Slide one M3 at washer onto the threaded rod and up against the lock
nut, then push the threaded rod through the control horn mounting hole. Slide
a second M3 at washer onto the threaded rod, then thread one M3 lock nut
onto the threaded rod and tighten it rmly, making sure that the threaded rod is
centred. Both ends of the threaded rod should be approximately 1-1/4" (32mm)
from the surface of the rudder.
q Thread one nylon adjustable control horn onto each end of the threaded
rod until both control horns are ush with the ends of the threaded rod.
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE RUDDER PULL-PULL CABLES
q Carefully thread the same end of the stranded cable through the hole in
one threaded coupler, then slide the end of the stranded cable back through
the crimp collet.
q Hold the short end of the stranded cable with a pair of pliers and rmly
slide the crimp collet forward so that the ange covers the end of the threaded
coupler. Firmly squeeze the crimp collet, using a pair of pliers, to lock the stranded
cable into place.
q Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the crimp collet. The C/A will 'wick'
between the crimp collet and the stranded cable, making the joint even stronger.
q Repeat the previous procedures to install the second threaded coupler onto
one end of the other length of stranded cable.
q Using a pair of wire cutters, carefully cut one length of stranded cable exactly
in half.
q Slide one crimp collet, non-anged side rst, over one end of one length of
stranded cable.
PRO TIP If the ends of the cable begin to unravel, use your ngers to twist
the ends back into shape.
q Cut away the covering material from over the rudder pull-pull exit slot in
each side of the fuselage. Each slot is located 3/8" (10mm) out from the sides
of the vertical stabiliser and 6" (152mm) in front of the rudder hinge line.
