4. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to trim the

tubing near both sides of the loop on the drop tank.

This will release the drop tank, yet the tubing will

be glued to the pylon. Also trim the tubing off at the

back of the pylon.

5. Slide the cable through the tubing and through

the loop in the drop tank. Pulling the cable will now

release the drop tank from the pylon.

5. Mount the sub-micro (we use an S75 servo

with a 3D servo horn) servo in the wing using the

screws provided with the servo and a #1 Phillips

screwdriver. Route the cable through the wing and

connect it to the servo using pushrod connectors.

You will need to install the pushrod connector that

is closest to the trailing edge of the wing upside

down on the servo arm. This is to ensure it does not

interfere with the rudder and elevator servos in the

fuselage when the wing is installed.

6. Insert the cable into the pushrod housing in the

wing panel. You will find it will make an indentation

in the bottom of the wing covering where it exits.

Using a hobby knife and #11 blade, slice a small

hole in the covering where the cable exits.

7. Slip the pylon over the cable that has exited the

bottom of the wing. You will have an extra amount

of cable sticking out the center section during this

process. The cable exit point locates the pylon on

the bottom of the wing. Once in position poke a

very small hole in the wing skin when the mount

holes are in the pylon using a hobby knife and #11

blade.
