Super Cub - Hangar 9

Step 14. Locate one of the 6" 4-40 wire threaded on one endand thread a 4-40 clevis on at least 10 turns. Use masking tapeto hold the elevators at their neutral position. With the elevatorservo set at the neutral position, place one of the 6" wires andclevis in the outer hole of the elevator servo arm. Align theelevator control rod and 6" wire, marking the wire where itmeets the end of the wooden elevator pushrod. Remove theclevis and wire from the elevator servo arm and the elevatorcontrol rod from the fuselage.Step 17. Align the mark with the end of wooden pushrod wherethe hole is drilled from the previous step. Mark the wire where itcrosses over the hole. Use pliers to make a 90-degree bend inthe wire where you just marked. Next, measure 1/4" from the90-degree bend and cut off the excess wire using side cuttersor a Dremel tool and cut-off wheel.Step 15. Repeat Step 14 for the rudder control rod.Step 18. 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.Step 16. Measure 2" from the end of the wooden elevatorcontrol rod and make a mark. Use a 1/8" drill bit to drill a holethrough the wooden rod perpendicular (90 degrees) to the holesdrilled in the other end.Step 19. 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 two remaining strings around the pushrod assembly andtie it off. 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.44
