PREPARATIONS
Tighten the Covering
Refer to the separate instruction sheet titled How To Tighten
Covering On ARF Models. Follow the instructions to tighten
the covering. If you prefer to get started on assembly right away,
the tightening process could be done later (but it is usually
easiest to do while the model is still in separate pieces).
ASSEMBLE THE WINGS
Hook Up the Ailerons (Single Servo Option)
If using dual aileron servos, skip to the next section on
page 9.
❏
1. Place your aileron servo in the servo mount built into
the right wing half (note the servo wire coming out between
the right side of the servo and the mount). Drill 1/16" [1.6mm]
holes for the servo mounting screws.
❏
2. Temporarily mount the servo with the screws that came
with it. Remove the screws and take out the servo. Add a
few drops of thin CA to each screw hole. Wait a minute for
the CA to harden and re mount the servo (guiding the wire
between the right side of the servo and the servo mount).
Don’t overtighten the servo mounting screws—just make
sure the heads of the screws apply a little pressure to the
grommets and that the servo is secure.
❏
3. Temporarily connect the aileron servo to your receiver
with a battery and on/off switch. Turn on the transmitter and
receiver and center all the trims on the transmitter.
YES 90°
CUT OFF THE
UNUSED ARMS
❏
4. With the radio on, position the servo arm on the splined
output shaft on the servo so it will be 90-degrees as shown in
the sketch. Once you fi nd the orientation that’s 90-degrees, cut
off the other two unused arms. The radio may now be turned
off, disconnected from the aileron servo and set aside.
