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.
