Section 15: Installing the Linkages
Installing the Aileron Linkages
1. Remove the two aileron horns from the plastic parts tree.
Thread the aileron horns onto the aileron torque rods in the wing
until the rod is flush with the aileron horn.
2. Locate two of the shorter threaded rods and two clevises.
3. Screw a clevis onto the threaded end of each rod, making 12
complete turns.
4. Attach the clevises onto their respective aileron horns.
Note: It’s a good idea to place a piece of fuel tubing (cut into
7mm length) over the clevises. This will provide extra
insurance against the clevises accidentally coming
open.
5. Center the aileron servo using the method described in
Section 14, Step 12–13 and, using a felt tipped pen, place a
mark on the unthreaded end of the aileron pushrods where they
pass their respective servo arm.
