14. When installing the servo in the left half of the wing
you may wish to have the extension exit the wing through the
same hole as the right aileron. This may be helpful in hiding
the leads as they extend into the fuselage. If you decide to
have both leads exit the same hole, you may need to use a
slightly longer servo lead and you will likely need to enlarge
the hole to make room for the dual servo lead. Either way
you choose to proceed, connect the two servos with a dual
servo extension (“Y” harness). Secure the extension with tape,
shrink tubing or some other method to secure the connection.
ASSEMBLE THE FUSELAGE
Before beginning the work on the fuselage you may wish to
remove the fuselage hatch. The hatch is held in place with
two magnets at the rear of the hatch. Lift the hatch from the
rear and remove it from the fuselage.

with four 4-40 x 5/8" [3.5 x 16mm] screws, #4 lock washers and
#4 fl at washers. Apply a drop of threadlocker to each screw.
