b) Inspecting the rudder system
Figure 2 shows the rudder (1), the attachment screws of the rudder (2), the rod connection for the linkage rods (3), the
connection of the water cooling (4) and the entry openings of the water cooling (5).
Switch your remote control on and put the steering servo to the neutral position. Adjust the rudder in the neutral posi-
tion as well.
Now fasten the linkage rods with the hexagon socket screw of the linkage connection (3).
Check the function of the rudder linkage. For this, observe the notes in the following chapter "Commissioning of the
Model". Finally, the hose for water cooling (4) must be pushed on.

this is not observed, the linkage rods and/or rudder system may come loose unintended in operation.
There is a danger of further damage to your model (e.g. the steering servo blocks). The model will also no
longer be controllable and may cause uncontrollable damage there. Also observe the following notes in
chapter 9.
"Metal/metal" screw connections must be secured against unintended loosening either with so-called stop
nuts or with a drop of thread locker varnish.
