x 12 sheet metal screws to secure the servo in the

servo mount using the servo mounting strap. Install

one screw and only turn it one or two turns, then

install the second screw. Tighten the strap with even

pressure at both the front and back of the servo.

Use care when installing the servo mounting strap.

Over-tightening the strap could stress the wing sheeting

and even push the servo through the top of the wing.
