MAINTENANCE Control Surface Service
1. Before disassembling a control surface, remove the wing or
vertical fi n from the fuselage.
2. Disconnect the linkage from the control horn.
3. Remove a screw (A) from each end of the control surface
hinge (B).
4. Carefully pull the control surface hinge pin and control
surface from the main body of the control surface.
5. Install the control surface by carefully aligning and pushing
the hinge pin in the clamps in the main body of the wing or
vertical fi n.
6. Apply a small amount of threadlock to the screws and install
in each end of the hinge pin.
CAUTION: Tighten the screw on each end of the hinge
until it is fl ush with the outer face of the hinge surface. Tighten-
ing the screw too much prevents the control from moving freely
on the hinge, which can result in a crash, damage or injury.
7. Connect the servo linkage to the control horn.
8. Install the wing or vertical fi n to the fuselage and center the
control surface.
CAUTION: After replacing a control surface, always
ensure the control surface is centered. If you adjust a control
surface’s center, always do a control test and rebind the model
to your transmitter to correctly set the failsafe.
