Before starting the aileron servo installation, make sure
to set aside the covers for the flap servo installation
(both operational and fixed) as shown in the photo
below. It is possible that you could accidentally prepare
two identical aileron servos using the flap servo cover.
 1. Use a #00 Phillips screwdriver to remove the
servo horns from the aileron servos. Use a pin
drill and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to enlarge
the outer hole that is 1/2-inch (13mm) from the
center of the servo horn. Secure the pushrod
connector using a pushrod connector backplate.
Insert the nylon pushrod connector in the hole
enlarged in the last step. Use pliers to press the
backplate onto the connector. Prepare both aileron
servo horns at this time.
