Rudder Servo
INSTALLING THE RUDDER PUSHROD
1. Locate the pushrod exit slot on the left side of the
fuselage.
2. Carefully cut away the covering material from the
slot.
3. Working from inside the fuselage, slide the
threaded end of the remaining pushrod down the
inside of the fuselage until the pushrod reaches
the exit slot. Carefully reach in with a small screw
driver and guide the pushrod out of the exit slot.
4. Install the clevis on the rudder pushrod. Make sure
6mm of thread shows inside the clevis.
5. The control horn should be mounted on the left
side of the rudder at the leading edge, in line with
the rudder pushrod.
6. Attach clevis to the hole in the control horn. Install
a silicone tube on the clevis.
7. Locate one nylon servo arm, and using wire
cutters, remove all but one of the arms using a
2mm drill bit, enlarge the third hole out from the
center to accommodate the rudder pushrod wire.
8. Plug the rudder servo into the receiver and center
the servo. Install the servo arm onto the servo.
9. Center the rudder and hold it in place using a piece
of masking tape.
10. With the rudder and rudder servo centered,
carefully place a mark on the rudder pushrod wire
where it crosses the hole in the servo arm.
11. Using a pliers, carefully make a 90 degree bend
up at the mark made. Cut off excess wire, leaving
about 6mm beyond the bend.
12. Insert the 90 degree bend up through the hole in
the servo arm. Install one nylon snap keeper over
the wire to secure it to the arm. Install the servo
arm retaining screw and remove the masking tape
from the rudder.
13.Using thick CA glue, secure the pushrod sleeves to
the pushrod sleeve guide.
