Section 15: Installing the Control LinkagesNote Final adjustments to the elevators will be madelater after completion of control linkage system.CONTINUEDStep 13. The pull-pull linkage consist of 2 cables; each has a.020 music wire, two threaded couplers, two clevis with safetyclips, and two locking nuts. Make two cables.Step 14. Scrape or clear the ends of the wires. Use a solderingiron and silver solder, to solder one of the threaded couplers toone end of the wire. The other end will be done later.Step 18. Locate the threaded rod for the throttle (2 mm). Withthe engine mounted to the fuselage, mark where the throttlepushrod will exit the firewall. The linkage to the carburetor armshould be free of any binding during operation. Once the throttlepushrod position has been determined and marked, use a 1/8''drill bit to make the opening in the firewall. Be sure to removethe fuel tank before drilling.Note: It’s important to bend over approximately 3/8'' ofthe music wire onto itself at its ends using pliers.This will give a more secure mechanical solderjoint as the silver solder has more to “grab onto”than a straight wire end.Step 15. After the solder has cooled, check the security of thesolder connection. Attach a locking nut and clevis onto thethreaded coupler. Connect the clevis to the outer hole of therudder control horn and thread the other end through thefuselage. Repeat the process for the other link. Trial fit the pullpulllinkage to the servo arm of the rudder servo, compensatingfor the fact there will be a threaded coupler and clevis attached.Step 19. Begin the installation of the throttle linkage byattaching the nylon clevis to the threaded end of the rod(10 turns). Thread the throttle linkage through the firewall andattach the nylon clevis to the engine throttle control arm.Step 16. Once you are satisfied with the length, silver solderthe threaded coupler to the music wire using the same procedureas outlined in step 15. After the solder has cooled, again checkthe security of the joint. Repeat the process for the other link.Step 17. Once both pull-pull linkages have been constructed,connect to the rudder servo control horns outer holes. Finaladjustments can be made at either or both ends of the linkageby screwing in or out the clevis as needed. Hangar 9 offers avaritey of heavy duty, gold anodized machined aluminm servoarms for use with 3D flying.36
Section 15: Installing the Control LinkagesStep 20. Note where the throttle control linkage is in relation tothe throttle servo arm inside the fuselage. You will need to make a“Z” bend at the end of the rod and attach it to the throttle servo arm.Make sure the engine carburetor barrel is in the 1/2 open positionand the throttle servo arm is centered. Mark where the throttlelinkage passes over the throttle servo arm. Use “Z” bend pliers tomake a “Z” bend at the mark. Attach the throttle linkage to the servoarm (you may have to remove the servo arm to install the arm ontothe “Z” bend, then reinstall the servo arm onto the servo).CONTINUEDAfter connecting the throttle linkage to the servo arm, check againto make sure the throttle barrel is at 1/2 open position when thethrottle arm centered and the transmitter throttle stick is at 1/2throttle. This will allow for minor adjustments to the carburetor byscrewing the nylon clevis in or out on the threaded rod.Section 16: Attaching the CowlingParts Needed• Fiberglass cowl• 4-40 button head screws (4)• Red trim tape• Rubber grommets (4)• Fuel Dot (HAN115) (optional)Tools and Adhesives Needed• Drill• 1/16” drill bit• Masking tape• Moto-tool with sanding drum• Carbide cutter• Sanding stick (medium)• Ruler• Felt-tipped pen or pencilStep 1. Using a Moto-tool, grind out the prop and coolingopenings in the front of the cowl. A template is provided for theprop opening. Next, cut out the large “U” shaped opening in thebottom of the cowl so it will slide over the fuselage and part ofthe landing gear. This will also allow for airflow and exhaustflow. A template for the cowl opening is also provided.Step 2. Make a template of the cylinder head of the engine youare going to mount in the Edge 540. Mount the engine and placethe template over it. Use a piece of cardboard or heavy paper thatcan be taped to the fuselage and folded back. Remove theengine, fold back the template and slide the cowl over thefuselage. Unfold the template so it rests on the cowl at theposition where the engine cylinder will be located. Mark the cowlfor the engine cylinder opening. The same process can be doneto locate where the needle valve will exit the cowl.37
