4. Lightly sand the aileron servo mount using

medium grit sandpaper. This allows the glue to

penetrate into the mount and provides a better

bond between the mount and wing.



5. Mix a small amount of 6-minute epoxy and

brush it onto the side of the aileron servo mount

that was sanded in the previous step. Position the

mount in the wing as shown in Step 3 and allow

the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

While waiting for the epoxy to dry on one wing

panel, you can repeat the previous steps to glue the

remaining servo mount into the opposite wing panel.

6. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to enlarge

the hole in the servo arm indicated in the photo.

Only open the hole in the servo arm enough for the

aileron linkage to fit in. Making it larger will only

create a poor fit between the linkage and servo

arm and make it difficult to trim your aircraft.



7. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade or side cutters

to remove the excess servo arm so it does not

interfere with the servo cover when it is installed.

8. Prepare a second aileron servo as shown in

Steps 6 and 7. Note the servos will be a mirror

image of each other. Plug the aileron servos into

the receiver and use the transmitter to center the

servos. Also check that they are operating correctly

at this time.

9. Position the aileron servo in the servo mount as

shown in the image with the horn facing the front

of the wing.
