Rudder And Elevator Servo Installation - Horizon Hobby ARF Hangar 9 Manuel D'utilisation

RUDDER AND ELEVATOR SERVO INSTALLATION

1. Hinge the rudder to the fi n and fuselage using the techniques from
hinging the ailerons. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to set the
gap between the balance tab and top of the fi n.
2. Hinge the elevators to the stabilizer using the techniques from
hinging the ailerons. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to set the
gap between the balance tabs and stabilizer tips.
3. Prepare and install the rudder and elevator servos in the fuselage.
The process is the same as the aileron servo installation. The center
servo operates the rudder, while the outer servos operate the
elevators. The servo output for all servos will face the front of the
fuselage.
4. Use the radio system to center the elevator servo. Install the servo
arm so it will be 90 degrees to the pushrod. Remove any unused
arms from the servo arm using side cutters.
5. When attaching the linkage to the elevator servo arm, use the hole
in the arm that is 5/8-inch (16mm) from the center of the arm.

6. Remove the clevis and nut from one end of the elevator pushrod.
Slide the elevator pushrod into the pushrod tube.
7. Attach the clevis to the elevator servo arm.
8. Thread the nut and clevis back on the elevator pushrod. Adjust the
clevis at the servo and control horn so the elevator is centered when
the clevis is attached to the elevator control horn.
9. Repeat the process of installing the elevator pushrod and servo arm
for the remaining elevator servo.
10. Make sure to adjust the pushrod when connecting the clevis to the
control horn at the elevator.
