1. Remove the aileron servo cover from one wing

panel. Place the aileron servo on the cover so the

servo arm is aligned with the edge of the cover and

centered in the slot as shown. Make sure the servo

does not hang over the edges of the servo cover.

It may be necessary to remove the servo horn

from the servo so it can be properly positioned on

the servo cover. Use a #00 Phillips screwdriver to

remove and reposition the servo horn if necessary.

2. Use a pencil to trace the outline of the edges of

the servo and tabs onto the aileron servo cover.

4. Use medium CA to glue two servo mounting

blocks to the aileron servo cover against the outside

of the lines that were drawn. Allow the CA to fully

cure before proceeding.
