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.

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.

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
