Elevator Installation - Horizon Hobby Hangar 9 Ki-43 Oscar 60cc Manuel D'utilisation

ELEVATOR INSTALLATION

1. Install the elevator control horns. Their installation is the same as the
aileron control horns.
 Make sure to check that the control horns are
securely glued before proceeding.
2. Glue the hinges in the elevator using 30-minute epoxy. The
installation of the elevator hinges is similar to the aileron hinges. Use
the short hinges to hinge the elevators
3. Glue the hinges to the stabilizer using 30-minute epoxy.
 Make sure to check that the elevator hinges are glued
securely once the adhesive has fully cured.
4. Prepare the holes in the fuselage for the elevator servo by threading
a screw into each hole. Remove the screws and place 2 to 3 drops
of thin CA in each hole to harden the surrounding wood. Once the CA
has fully cured, install the elevator servo with the servo output shaft
toward the front of the fuselage.
5. Slide a 36 5 / inch (930mm) pushrod into the pushrod tube.

6. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to trim the covering so the
pushrod can exit the fuselage.
7. Thread a ball end 12 turns on the pushrod. Secure the servo ball
link to the control horn using an M3 x 10 button head screw, M3
washer and M3 lock nut. Use a 2.5mm hex wrench and 5.5mm nut
driver to tighten the hardware.
8. Center the elevator servo using the radio system. Attach the servo
horn on the servo perpendicular to the pushrod. Thread a ball end
12 turns on the pushrod. Secure the servo ball link to the control
horn using an M3 x 10 button head screw, M3 washer and M3 lock
nut. Use a 2.5mm hex wrench and 5.5mm nut driver to tighten the
hardware.
9. Repeat the previous steps to install the remaining elevator servo and
pushrod.
