------ COMPLETING THE PUSH ROD LENGTHS AND ENDS ------
MAKE SURE THAT WHEN CALLED FOR THAT THE
SERVOS ARE ELECTRONICALLY CENTERED AND
THE CONTROL SURFACES ARE “LOCKED” IN
THEIR NEUTRAL POSITIONS
------ THE PROCESS / words (con’t) ------

Center the servos
 Constrain the control surfaces to neutral
 Attach a clevis to one of the control surface horns, make sure the little brass pin gets snapped in all the
way. It may be necessary to clean the hole out in the control surface horn if the brass pin does not pass
thru. If it does need to be enlarged, the tip of a hobby knife or 1mm drill (.039in) can be used, just be
careful to not make the hole oversize, this will cause slop in the linkage
 Align the raw push rod end and the brass part of the clevis assembly, you should notice that there is
some extra length on the rod. Double check that everything is still centered and neutral
 Cut the control rod with a small pair of snips right at the place were the threads start (see photo)
 Dress up the end of the rod to make it nice and smooth, remove the constraints from the control surface,
flex the control surface so that you can install the end of the rod into the open end of threaded brass
piece.
 Return the control surface to neutral by pushing/pulling the control rod a little in or out to get the
control surface to neutral. Make sure the servo is still centered as well
 Once you like the location, secure with thin CA. For added security you and also make small crimp in the
fitting to "squeeze" in onto the rod, just do this carefully so that the rod is not completely crushed inside
the fitting
 Repeat the process for the other control rod
 Eyeball down the length of the control rod to align all the push rod guides. They should also be installed
all the way in until they bottom out on the little flanged area. Once you are happy with their positions
and alignment, secure them to the fuselage by applying a drop of CA at the base where it pokes into the
foam. Be careful here to not let any CA get into the area where the rods are sliding thru the guides
