There should be a pair of holes on opposite sides of the fuselage back in the vicinity of the tail wheel. Those holes are for the elevator pushrods. Those pushrods are joined together inside the fuselage and connect to the middle servo. There should also be another hole on the left side of the fuselage further back than the elevator pushrod hole. That one is for the rudder pushrod. Use which ever servo (left or right) that the pushrod ends up pointing at inside the fuselage. There should also be a pushrod for the tailwheel. That one goes on the remaining servo.

Be aware that this is not a beginners plane. If you don't know how to hook up the servos, you definitely will not know how to successfully fly the plane. You should find a local RC club for some help in getting the plane ready and for flight training rather than ruining your investment and getting discouraged.

Thank you very much for your feedback, I do not plan on flying this war-bird any time soon, I just want to get it together and make sure everything and the cg is correct. In the mean time I have an Apprentice that I have been training with also a simulator. Once again thank you very much.
