 2. Position the rudder servo in the opening at the
front of the fuselage as shown. Slide the servo as
far back in the opening as possible. Use a pencil to
mark the position for the screws that will be used to
secure the rudder servo.
 3. Use a pin drill and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit
to drill the holes for the two servo mounting screws.
 4. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA into each of the
holes to harden the surrounding wood. This is done
to strengthen the wood and provide a stronger
surface for the servo mounting screws.
 5. Position the rudder servo back in the opening
in the front of the fuselage. Use a #1 Phillips
screwdriver and the screws provided with the servo
to secure the rudder servo.
It is best to support the fuselage with the palm of your
hand while installing the servo screws. The plywood
structure is strong enough for the model and flight
loads but could fail if extreme downward pressure is
placed on it during the servo mount screw installation.
 6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 to install the elevator
servo. Note the direction of the output of the
elevator servo.
 7. Use diagonal cutters to remove the ears of the
servo arm as shown. Use medium grit sandpaper
to smooth the servo arm for a finished look.
