bottom of the steering servo and install it in the nose

possible. Install the servo arm so it is as close to parallel
with the steering arm as possible when the servo in the
neutral position. Use a knife or drill bit to enlarge the
hole in the servo arm so the linkage will fit and move
smoothly with no slop.
Note
: You will need to use an unused channel and
mix the rudder to the channel for the nose gear to
operate in the correction direction. This also allows you
to adjust the nose steering servo travel independently
of the rudder servo travel. The other option is to use
a reversing Y-harness if your transmitter does not offer
programmable mixing.
