9. Install the rudder pushrod. Thread a clevis 14-turns

onto the pushrod. Attach the clevis to the control horn. Bend

the pushrod as necessary to allow for free movement.

❏

10. Install the elevator pushrod. Thread the clevis onto

the pushrod. Attach the clevis to the control horn. Trim the

opening at the rear of the fuselage as necessary to allow the

pushrod to move freely.

❏ ❏

11. Center the rudder and servo arm. Mark the pushrod

wire at the servo arm. Bend the wire up at the mark. Cut the

wire 5/16" [8mm] below the bend. Secure the pushrod to the

servo arm with a nylon FasLink. Make sure the wire will not

bind against the servo case. Repeat the process for the

elevator pushrod.

CANOPY INSTALLATION

❏

1. Place the small hardwood dowel into the front canopy

brace. Remove the covering for the dowel in the front of the

fuselage. Install the dowel into the hole.

❏

2. Place a piece of wax paper between the bottom

canopy brace and fuselage. Glue the bottom canopy brace

to the front canopy brace with CA. The wax paper will prevent

the braces from accidentally being glued to the fuselage.

Note: If you are planning on using the optional spoilers, you

must remove the shaded area to allow for servo movement.

❏

3. With the wax paper still in place, glue the rear canopy

brace to the bottom canopy brace with CA. Note: If you are

planning on using the optional spoilers, you must remove

the shaded area to allow for servo movement.
