2. Install the rudder, elevator and throttle servos into the
servo tray noting the orientation of the servos. Plug the
battery and servos temporarily into the receiver. Center the
elevator, rudder and throttle trims on the transmitter.
❏
3. Route the three servo cords as shown in the photo and
plug them into the receiver. Wrap the receiver and battery in
foam rubber. Attach the receiver and battery to the servo
tray using hook and loop material (not included).
❏
4. Test fit the servo tray into the fuselage. The battery
and receiver are positioned towards the tail of the aircraft
when the tray is installed. Begin by sliding the tray into the
slot on former 2 as shown in the first photo. The second
photo shows the tray fully seated against former 2. The last
photo shows the tray fully seated against the landing gear
formers. Once the tray fits without any binding or flexing,
remove the tray and apply 30-minute epoxy to any areas in
the fuselage that contact the servo tray. Install the tray and
allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding to the
next step.

5. Cut the slots in both sides of the fuselage for the elevator
pushrod tubes to exit the fuselage.
❏
6. Use a 3/16" [5mm] drill bit or a sharpened 3/16" [5mm]
brass tube to chamfer the holes for easier installation of the
pushrod tubes.
