 24. Slide a silicone clevis retainer over a nylon
clevis. Remove the tape holding the aileron centered
to the wing. This is clear tape from the factory
so it might be difficult to see. Connect the aileron
servo to the receiver and use the radio system to
keep the aileron servo centered. Thread the clevis
on the pushrod wire and connect the clevis to the
aileron control horn. Adjust the clevis so the aileron
is aligned with the wing while the aileron servo is
centered. Slide the silicone clevis retainer over the
forks of the clevis to keep it from opening in flight.

remaining aileron servo and linkage.

and remove the power from the receiver.
