2. Use your radio system to center the servos that
will be used for the ailerons. Remove the stock
servo horns from the servos using a #00 Phillips
screwdriver and install the standard single-sided
servo arm on the servos as shown. Make sure to
prepare a right and left servo as shown.
3. Test fit the aileron servo into the pocket in the
bottom of the wing. Note that the servo output will
face to the front of the aircraft.
4. Remove the servo and scuff the surface of the
servo where it contacts the wing using sandpaper.
Clear any residue left from the sanding process
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Mix a
small amount of 6-minute epoxy. Place a small
amount of epoxy in the servo pocket, then install
the servo, pressing it into the epoxy. This will keep
the servo secure in the wing during the operation
of your model.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to install the aileron servo
in the opposite wing panel.
Be very careful to use only a small amount of
epoxy when attaching the servos. Using an
excessive amount of glue could cause some of
the excess to seep inside of the servo case and
could bind the servo, resulting in servo failure.
6. Use your radio system to center the servos that
will be used for the elevators. Remove the stock
servo horns from the servos using a #00 Phillips
screwdriver and install the standard single-sided
servo arm on the servos as shown. Make sure to
prepare a right and left servo as shown.
7. Test fit the elevator servo into the pocket on the
side of the fuselage. Note that the servo output will
face to the front of the aircraft. Remove the servo
and scuff the surface of the servo that contacts the
fuselage using sandpaper. Clear any residue left
from the sanding process using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Mix a small amount of 6-minute
epoxy. Place a small amount of epoxy in the
servo pocket, then install the servo, pressing it into
the epoxy. This will keep the servo secure in the
fuselage during the operation of your model.
