Recommendations for assembly

both ends have sufficient movement range for full control

surface movement prior to bonding( Fig. 2.38 )

(JW – after linkage mfg, I put a load on the control surface

such that the rod is in tension prior to gluing the sheet to the

fuselage tube, this ensures that the rod is straight)

Remove the wing and bond the remaining carbon sheet

inside the fairing to the fuselage . ( Fig. 2.39)

(JW – I put a small z-bend in the pushrod wire so the the

wire is centered in the middle of the control horn. I do this for

both ends of the wire)
