 11. Thread a 2mm nut onto the screw from
underneath the servo arm. Tighten the screw and
nut to secure the bushing and steering arm. Always
use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners to
prevent them from vibrating loose.
 12. Remove the original servo arm from the servo
using a #00 Phillips screwdriver. After centering the
steering servo, install the long 3D arm prepared in
the previous steps on the servo as shown.
 13. Test fit the steering servo into the steering servo
mounting block inside the fuselage. Note that
the servo output faces to the rear 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.
 14. Locate the nose gear. Notice there is a slight
bend to the gear wire. This bend will angle the
gear forward in a scale-like manner when it has
been installed.
 15. There are also two small flat areas on the nose
gear that will face to the front of the aircraft.
 16. Use a file to make a flat on the opposite side of
the one near the top of the nose gear wire as shown.
