Hook Up the Ailerons (Dual Servo Option)

You can do both servos simultaneously, or do them one
at a time as described below:

SERVO OPENING
IN WING

CUT THE COVERING 1/8" [3mm]
FROM THE EDGES OF THE OPENING.
SLIT THE COVERING UP TO THE
CORNERS.

1. Cut the covering from one (or both) of the aileron servo

openings in the bottom of the wings. The “neatest” way is to
cut the covering 1/8" [3mm] inside the opening, cut slits up to
the corners, and then use a trim iron to seal the edges down
inside the openings. Or, just cut the covering up to the edges.

2. Connect a 6" [150mm] servo extension to the aileron

servo and secure the connection with a 1-1/2" [40mm] piece of
heat shrink tubing included with this kit—shrink the tubing with
a heat gun or a hobby torch—use care not to scorch the wires!

3. Use the string in the wing to pull the servo extension

out the end and place the aileron servo in the wing. Drill
1/16" [1.6mm] holes for the servo mounting screws.

4. 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 remount the servo. 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.
