3. Place the servo in the opening with the

servo output facing the rear of the fuselage.

Use a pencil to mark the locations for the servo

mounting screws.

4. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit

to drill the holes for the servo mounting screws.

5. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a servo

mounting screw into the mounting holes for the

steering servo. Remove the screw after cutting the

threads in the plywood.

6. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the holes.

This will harden the threads made by the screws

making them more secure when the steering servo

is installed.

7. Center the steering servo using the radio system.

The steering servo will use the short side of a

standard JR 4-way horn. Use side cutters to remove

any arms from the horn that may interfere with the

operation of the servo. Secure the horn to the servo

using a #1 Phillips screwdriver and the servo from

the servo.

8. The steering linkage will be connected to the

hole in the servo that is 7/16-inch (11mm) from the

center of the arm as illustrated in the photo above.

9. Install the steering servo in from the top of the

fuselage using the hardware provided with the

servo and a #1 Phillips screwdriver. The servo

output faces the rear of the fuselage.
