User Manual

remove the threaded metal clevis and nut from the control

horn end, remove the pushrod from the fuselage, cut it to the

correct length and solder a metal solder clevis on the end.

Reinstall the pushrod from the front and connect the solder

clevis to the servo arms. Reinstall the threaded metal clevis

and 4-40 nut. Apply a drop of thread locker to the threads

and tighten the nut against the clevis. Don’t forget to use

a silicone clevis retainer on all the clevises.

❏

14. Install solder clevis on the rudder servo arm in the

hole 5/8" [16mm] from the center of the servo arm. Thread

the nylon torque rod horn onto the rudder torque rod so that

it is 5/16" [8mm] from the fuselage side. Attach the clevis to

the torque rod horn, center the rudder, and mark the rudder

pushrod where it is to be cut for the solder clevis. Remove

the threaded metal clevis from the control horn end, remove

the pushrod from the fuselage, cut it to the correct length

and solder a metal solder clevis on the end. Reinstall the

pushrod from the front and connect the solder clevis to the

servo arms. Reinstall the threaded metal clevis and 4-40 nut.

Apply a drop of thread locker to the threads and tighten the

nut against the clevis. Again, use a silicone clevis retainer

on the clevises.

❏

15. Thread a 4-40 nut and a 4-40 metal clevis, 12 turns,

onto each of the 4-40 rigging couplers. Slide a silicone

clevis retainer over each clevis. Install the clevises on the

steering servo arm in the hole 5/8" [16mm] from the center

of the servo arm.

❏

16. Lower the tail gear. Center the servo arm and the tail

gear. Install a swage on each cable, securing it following the

same procedure used on the tail gear ball links. Use a pliers

to crimp the swage tightly on the cable.

❏

17. The tail gear retract cover can be permanently installed

using CA glue or with screws. If CA glue is used it will be

very dif cult to remove the cover and access the retracts if

needed. To install the cover with screws, tape three pieces

of paper on each side of the fuselage. Put one at each end

of the tail gear opening and one in the middle. Place marks

3/32" [2mm] from the edge of the opening, centered in the

balsa stringer.
