7. Reinstall the pushrods and attach them to the horns.
With the rudder and elevator positioned at neutral, mark the
pushrod where it aligns with the servo horn. Make Z-bends
at the marks or use pushrod keepers to attach the pushrods
to the servos.
❍
8. Install a throttle linkage pushrod (not included) using
your preferred method.
❍
9. Install the aileron servos in the wing, fishing the servo
leads through the paper tubes as you proceed. Connect the
servo leads to a Y-harness, then center the servo arms.
❍
10. Install the aileron control horns where shown on the
plans. Attach clevises to the two 8" threaded pushrods (left
over from the elevator and rudder), then install them using
Z-bends or pushrod keepers.
❍
11. Hook up the radio and adjust the control throws. The
control throws are suggested as a starting point and may be
increased or decreased once you are familiar with the flight
characteristics of your particular model.
CONTROL SURFACE THROWS
Control throw adjustment:
By moving the position of the
clevis at the control horn
toward the outermost hole
, you
will
decrease
the amount of throw of that control surface.
Moving it
toward the control surface
will
increase
the
amount of throw. If these adjustments don’t accomplish
the job, you may need to work with a combination of
adjustments by also repositioning the pushrod at the
servo end. Moving the pushrod toward the splined shaft
on the servo will decrease the control surface throw —
outward will increase it.
We recommend these control surface throws as a
starting point
:
NOTE:
Throws are measured at the
widest part
of the
elevators, rudder, and ailerons. If your radio does not have
dual rates, set the control throws halfway between the
specified high and low rates.
