Then take the cables through to the rear of the fuselage, check them all for free movement.
Take care not to damage or crimp the cables. They will be attached to the rudder later.
Mounting the upper flaperon pushrod bracket
The upper flaperon pushrod bracket must be accurately positioned to ensure proper operation of
the assembly.
 Center the bracket between the cutouts and then offset it by 1mm. The longer side must
be on the pilots (left) side of the fuselage. Remember, the fuselage is currently upside
down, so think about it.
 Then position the part accurately and drill one 5mm hole only, insert the 5mm diameter
bolt and secure in place using the normal washer under the bolt head and the larger
washer under the nut in the rear of the fuselage
 Recheck the measurements and, when satisfied that it has not moved, drill the remaining
three holes and insert the bolts. Use Loctite 262 on the 4 nuts.
