Mounting the control stick drive:
 Before mounting the control stick drive, it is very important to set the flaperon control
vertical pushrods vertically symmetric and that they are held in that position while the
control stick drive is being mounted. This can be achieved by using a guide or jig on the
roof of the cabin, right where the vertical pushrods protrude outwards (see picture
below).
 On the floor of the cabin you'll find faint marks in the molding to mark the position of the
control stick drive mounting plates.
 Identify the positions and drill the holes with a 4mm diameter. Lightly sand the surface
underneath the holes to remove any debris from drilling. Use a vacuum to collect the
debris.
 Insert the control stick drive. Note that the shorter side goes to the left of the aircraft
when looking towards the motor.
 Fix the assembly to the floor of the cabin using the 8 screws provided. If the mounting
plates don't fit nicely to the bottom of the cabin floor, lightly grind the back edge of the
plates as shown in the pictures below.
