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.
