 Step 3
Use the radio system to center the servo for the aileron.
Remove the original arm from the aileron servo and install
a 180-degree arm so it is perpendicular to the center line of
the servo. You will be connecting the linkage to a hole that
is 9/16-inch (14mm) from the center of the servo arm, so
make sure your servo arm meets these requirements.
 Step 4
Position the servo on the bottom side of the servo cover
so the servo arm is centered in the opening in the cover as
shown. The servo must also be parallel to the opening so the
arm can move freely through its entire range of movement.
 Step 5
Use a pencil to mark the servo cover for the position of the
servo mounting blocks on the aileron servo cover. Make the
mark behind the brass eyelets and alongside the servo. Make
sure to mark for both blocks without allowing the servo to
move on the cover.
 Step 6
Use medium grit sandpaper to scuff the ends of two servo
mounting blocks as shown.
Sand this end
 Step 18
Once you have test fit the flap without glue, you can now
remove the flap and use hinge glue to secure the flap to the
wing panel. Use small pieces of low-tack tape to hold the
flap in position until the hinge glue fully cures.
 Step 19
Repeat Steps 13 through 18 to hinge the remaining flap and
aileron of the opposite wing panel.
