13) Per your radio system guide and ESC instruc-
tions, plug the flight battery into the ESC, then plug the
ESC lead and the elevator servo lead into their proper slots
in the receiver. Turn on the radio system.
❑
14) Check to make sure the elevator control stick
and the elevator trim lever are centered.
❑
15) Slide the adjustable servo connector/servo horn
assembly over the end of the elevator pushrod wire and
align the servo horn with the servo output shaft.
❑
16) Attach the servo horn to the output shaft, mak-
ing sure that the servo horn is centered and points toward
the fuselage side. See photo # 31 below.

17) Use a couple of pieces of masking tape, taped
between the horizontal stabilizer and the elevator, to hold
the elevator centered.
❑
18) With the elevator servo horn centered, use a # 1
phillips screwdriver to tighten the machine screw in the
adjustable servo connector.
❑
19) Using a # 0 phillips screwdriver, install and
tighten the servo arm retaining screw, provided with your
servo, to secure the servo horn into place.
❑
20) Remove the masking tape from the elevator and
double check that the elevator and the elevator servo are
still centered.
❑
21) With your radio system plugged in and turned
on, check the direction the elevator control surface moves
and the amount of deflection. To do this pull back on the
elevator control stick. The elevator should move up. If it
does not, flip the servo reversing switch on your transmit-
ter to change the direction. (Refer to your radio guide for
more information on this function.)
❑
22) Pull back completely on the elevator control
stick. While holding the control stick fully back, use a
ruler to measure the amount the trailing edge of the

If the control surface deflection is more or less
than 3/8" it must be changed. If your radio is equipped
with End Point Adjustments (EPA), make those adjust-
ments using the transmitter. (Refer to your radio guide
for further details.) If your radio does not have this fea-
ture, you can still make the adjustments to the pushrod
manually.
❑
24)
If the elevator is moving more than 3/8", move
the adjustable servo connector in one hole toward the cen-
ter of the servo horn to decrease the control deflection. If
the elevator is moving less than 3/8", move the Z-bend
one hole closer to the base of the control horn to increase
the control deflection. When adjusted properly, the el-
evator should move 3/8" both up and down.

should be taken at the widest point of the elevator. See
