Video 14 of the Millie Bob build – Installing the servos and building the pushrods which connect the servos to the control surfaces.
One piece of advice: This is a fiddly task. LOTS of patience is required, and even when you think it’s finished you’ll still have to trim a bit here and there to get it all working smoothly. Take your time and you’ll get it done!

Hey bro , can u tell me were to find push rods?
If u can , pls give me a link and is their any replacement for balsa?
Cause in india here , I can't find balasa wood , so please tell something which I can use exept that which is easily accessible and available ?
Hello Conor
Great work ! , learned a lot
But from where did you get those servo pushrod ?
And if you need to adjust the push rod further then what your radio allows, your out of luck. You need an adjustable clevis on one end.
I build an RC boat,check my project video #diywithkaran
Just looks like extra work to me Connor, and for little benefit. If I have a long control rod 'travel' I simply 'sleeve' the middle section of the control wire to mitigate any deflection / sag. The way you have done it, you have introduced two further potential fail points at each of the metal to wood connections – I am an older flier but with modern techniques and available components, you just dont need to use the old school ways!
You seem to have given the servos extra weight to move in using balsa instead of just control wire
That plane looks a lot like a Kadet Mark II kit that Sig sells for $90. It was my first plane some 30 years ago. Nice flyer and an easy build. Have fun with it.
Great build!!
Great video…we found it very helpful. Thank You!
Where can i get pushrods and could i use guitar string
Can we use analog servo in rc plane
which airplane is this?
WTF????
Why use balsa in between?
This video helped me so much thanks
I see a bunch of people using hexatronic, from Hobby King I am guessing? I also see Towerpro servos around alot. Are they comparable to hexatronics, better, worse? Are there any 9g servos brands to avoid? My real bet is that they are all just rebranded?
On a separate thought… I am nowhere near a RC engineer nor would I even pretend to be as knowledgeable as Conor but IMHO putting a bend in any type of control linkage I would say is a risky move. That being said piano wire is no joke, it might hold up.
Hi do you have any up to date plans I can use to build this please?
Why do you use a balsa pushrod? Why not run wire the whole way down?
Wow nice work!! Can i please get a picture of the planes plans? Please.
So fascinating
What kind of motor did you use for this aircraft?
What Pushrod Do you use?
nice video! lots of work, but well worth it for a good outcome!
Where can I buy the plan for this plane or can you send me the plans thank you
Hello Conor, where can I buy the push rod from please? or what is it called.
Hello Conor all looking good .Keep up the good work .Looking foward to its 1st flight.Tony Wright.
