 1. Remove the servo cover from the wing. You may
need to use a covering iron to reseal the covering
to the wing if the tape lifts the covering.
 2. Prepare the aileron servo by installing the servo
grommets and brass eyelets. Remove the servo
horn from the servo using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
 3. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the
servo mounting holes to harden the surrounding
wood. This will help in preventing the screws from
vibrating loose.
 4. Secure the aileron servo to the servo mount using
the hardware included with the servo. Use a #1
Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws. Note that
the output for the servo is centered in the slot where
the servo arm will protrude through the cover.
 5. Use a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit
to enlarge the hole in the servo horn. Enlarge the
inner hole of the longer arm of a standard servo
arm. This hole is 3/8-inch (10mm) from the center
of the horn as shown. Use side cutters to remove
any unused arms so they don’t interfere with the
operation of the servo.
