15. Assemble the elevator linkages following the same
procedure as the aileron and fl ap linkages using the
9
1
/
-inch (235mm) pushrod. Attach the ball end to the
4
elevator servo arm following the procedure outlines for
the standard elevator servo installation.
16. Center the elevator servo and install the servo arm.
Adjust the linkage so the elevator is centered when the
servo is centered. Tighten the nut against the clevis, then
slide the clevis retainer (silicone tubing) over the forks of
the clevis. Use threadlock on the nut to prevent it from
vibrating loose.
LANDING GEAR INSTALLATION
1.
Use a fl at fi le to make a 1/4-inch (6mm) wide fl at area on
the axle at the end and against the nut on the axle.
2.
Attach the axle to the landing gear using the nut supplied
with the axle. With the fl at areas of the axle facing down,
tighten the axle using two 1/2-inch wrenches.
3.
Slide a 5/32-inch wheel collar on the axle. Do not tighten
the setscrew at this time.

Place a drop of light machine oil on the axle, then slide
the wheel on the axle. Position the wheel collar fl ush with
the end of the axle. Secure the wheel using a 5/32-inch
wheel collar, tightening the setscrew on the outer fl at
area. Make sure to use thread lock on the setscrew to
prevent it from vibrating loose.
5.
Slide the inner wheel collar against the wheel then
tighten the setscrew. Check that the wheel can spin
freely and reposition the collar as necessary.
Check that the M4 x 15 socket head cap screw thread
easily into the blind nuts. If not, use a 4mm tap to clear the
threads of the blind nuts so the screw threads in easily.
6.
Position the gear on the bottom of the fuselage. The gear
angle forward as shown in the photo.
7.
Attach the gear to the fuselage using four M4 x 15
socket head cap screws and four M4 washers. Use
thread lock on the screws.
