 Step 9
Remove the servo. Use a drill and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit
to drill the four holes for the servo mounting screws.
 Step 10
Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA into each hole to harden the
surrounding wood. This provides a harder surface for the
screws making them more secure when installed.
 Step 11
Use the screws provided with the servo to secure it to the
servo mounting blocks. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to
tighten the servo mounting screws. Plug the rudder servo
into the receiver at this time.
 Step 12
Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove the covering
for the tail gear doors and tail gear wire from the bottom of
the fuselage.
 Step 13
Use a pin drill and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to enlarge the
hole in the tail gear steering arm. Note the position of the
arm and location of the setscrew when enlarging the hole.
 Step 14
Insert the pushrod connector in the hole as shown. Use a
C-clip and 1.5mm washer to secure the connector to the
steering arm.
 Step 5
If you will be using sheet metal screws to mount your
switch, place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to harden the
surrounding wood.
 Step 6
Wrap the receiver battery in 1/4-inch (6mm) foam. Use a
hook and loop strap (not included) to secure the receiver
battery to the bottom of the forward radio tray. Plug the
receiver battery into the switch harness at this time.
 Step 7A
Glow Power Receiver: Use hook and loop tape to mount
the receiver on the top side of the forward servo tray.
The remote receiver is then mounted on the inside of the
fuselage with hook and loop tape as far as possible from the
main receiver as shown. Plug in any necessary extensions
into the receiver for the flaps, retracts and ailerons at this
time as well.
 Step 7B
Electric Power Receiver: Use hook and loop tape to mount
the receiver on the bottom side of the forward servo tray.
The remote receiver is then mounted on the inside of the
fuselage with hook and loop tape as far as possible from the
main receiver as shown. Plug in any necessary extensions
for the flaps, retracts and ailerons at this time as well. The
receiver is mounted to the bottom of the forward servo tray
to allow room for the motor battery on the top side of the
forward radio tray.
Note : We used two 3-inch (76mm) extensions for
ailerons and two 3-inch (76mm) extensions for retracts.
These channels were mixed using a computer radio.
 Step 8
Place the rudder servo in the rear servo tray. The servo is
installed from the bottom of the tray with the output shaft
facing to the front of the fuselage. Use a pencil to mark
the locations for the servo mounting screws through the
grommets and on the servo tray.
