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.
