Step 9. Use pliers to make a 90-degree bend in the wirewhere marked in the previous step. Next, measure 1/4" from the90-degree bend and cut off the excess wire using side cutters ora Dremel tool and cut-off wheel.Step 12. At the rear of the fuselage there are precut slots for theelevator and rudder pushrods. They were covered up during thecovering process. Use a sharp hobby knife to carefully removethe covering around the exit holes. Open up the top two for thesplit ("Y") elevator pushrod and the bottom left for the rudderpushrod.AStep 10. Carefully cut a groove approximately 1/16" deep intothe wooden pushrod from the hole to the end of the pushrod tohelp secure the wire in place. Use a Dremel tool and cut-offwheel or use both sides of the wire as a guide and hold the knifeat a 45-degree angle to cut a V-groove.BStep 11. Mix 1/4 ounce of 6-minute epoxy and coat the wireand the wooden pushrod end. Be sure to get epoxy down intothe hole. Install the wire and secure it in place by wrapping oneof the remaining strings around the pushrod assembly and tie itoff. Make sure the wire is seated down in the groove of thepushrod. Coat the string with epoxy and set the assembly asidewhile the epoxy cures.Step 13. Spread the elevator control wires 2" apart and carefullyslide them through the fuselage and out the exit holes in the rearof the fuselage. Thread a 4-40 clevis onto each of the threadedcontrol wires at least 10 turns and connect them to the controlhorns on the elevators.43
