1. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the aileron and

flap servo covers so they can be installed in the

correct direction after they have been removed

from the wing.



2. Remove the flap and aileron servo covers from

the wing. Use a covering iron to seal the covering if

the tape has lifted it from the wing or servo covers.

Set the wing and flap servo cover aside.



3. Prepare the aileron servo by installing the

brass eyelets and rubber grommets in the servo.

Also remove the stock servo horn using a #1

Phillips screwdriver.



4. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the

mounting holes for the servo screws. This will

harden the wood and help prevent the screws from

vibrating loose.

5. Mount the aileron servo using the four screws

provided with the servo and a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
