Mount the receiver and connect the servos.
Power up the RC system and check your transmitter
trims are centered. Then check servo travel direction
and reverse if needed.
Note: If you prefer to fly with ailerons instead of
rudder, you can plug the rudder servo into the
aileron port on the receiver.
Use small strips of Blenderm tape to secure the
motor wires in place. Also route your servo wires as
shown here and use Blenderm tape at a few
locations to hold them in the cavity.
The servo wires and the motor wires will be covered
up by the decals later.
Power up your transmitter and receiver. Check all
servo arms are centered and that all trims on your
transmitter are also centered. Power down
transmitter and receiver.
Hold the control surfaces flush with a ruler and then
apply some modelling or masking tape on the control
surfaces to ensure they are held straight while you
connect the control linkages.
Bend the tape over to the bottom of the surface to
make a U shape.
Apply a small amount of UHU Por Expanded
Polystyrene glue to the end of the pushrod and
attach the control linkage. This clip type linkage will
connect to the servo arm. Apply heat with a
soldering iron and shrink the heat shrink. The glue in
the joint will heat and set hard to make the joint
stronger.
Trim the pushrods to be about 5mm short of the
hole in the control horn.
