4. Insert the steering pushrod in the hole of the

servo arm. Position the servo so the nose gear is

aligned with the fuselage centerline so it will taxi

straight down the runway. Use a felt-tipped pen to

mark the fuselage where the servo rests.

5. Lightly sand the seam in the fuselage where the

steering servo rests. This provides a flat area for the

mount to be glued.

6. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the servo mount in

the fuselage. Once the epoxy fully cures, secure

the servo using the servo mounting strap and two

2.5mm x 10mm sheet metal screws. Tighten the

screws using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

Check to make sure the nose gear wire

can move freely so the steering servo is not

overloaded when trying to steer your aircraft.
