3. Installing Control Surfaces

We need to install the threaded inserts into the 2 control surfaces for the Fore Cap

Heat set the threaded insert into each of the control surfaces using a soldering iron.

Cut the 4mm Stainless Rod to length. If using the standard kit the length should be 215mm

Optional: You can grind/file a flat onto the control rods to give a better surface for the set screw to screw into holding the control surface in the correct position.

Install 1 of the control surfaces onto one end of the control rod.

Insert an M3 set screw into the threaded insert and screw it down onto the control rod to fix it in place.

Ensure the control rod is flush with the end of the control surface.

Slide the Control rod through the hold of the Bottom Fore Cap.

Slide the 4mm Pinion gear onto the control rod.

Once the control has been inserted fully into the Bottom Fore Cap. Install the second control surface and fix into place with an M3 Set Screw

Now align the 4mm Pinion Gear with the Pinion gear on the servo and fix into place with the set screw on the 4mm pinion gear.
