1. Test fit the flap servo in the pocket in the bottom
wing. The output shaft of the servo will face to the
trailing edge of the wing.
2. Use the radio system to set the flap servo to the
UP flap position. Remove the stock servo horn using
a #0 Phillips screwdriver and install the single-sided
servo arm perpendicular to the servo center line as
shown. Check that the servo moves the direction
shown for DOWN flap.
3. Use a small drop of medium CA to glue the flap
servo to the exposed spar in the wing. Don’t over-
glue the servo in case it requires removal in the
future. Connect the flap linkage to the hole on the
servo horn that is one away from the center of the
horn as shown.
4. Adjust the linkage so the flaps are up when the
servo is in the UP position. Slide the silicone tubing
over the forks of the clevis once the flap linkage is
adjusted.
