4. Use the strings taped inside the aileron servo hatches

to pull the servo leads through the wing panels.

5. Before fi tting the hatches in place, thread a #2 x 3/8"

[9.5mm] self-tapping screw into each hatch mounting hole
and back it out. Apply a drop of thin CA to each hole to
harden the wood. Install the hatch covers to the wings using
eight #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] self-tapping screws and eight #2
fl at washers.

6. Thread a nylon clevis 20 complete turns onto each 6"

[152mm] pushrod. Slide a silicone clevis retainer onto each
clevis and connect the clevises to the outer holes of two
control horns.

7. Position the control horns over the plywood plates in the

ailerons (if you cannot see them, hold the aileron at a shallow
angle in good lighting or use a small pin to puncture the covering)
using the position of the servo arms as a guide. Align the holes
in the control horns directly over the aileron hinge line and mark
the location of the control horn mounting holes.

8. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes at the marks you made

through the plywood plates. Do not drill all the way through
the ailerons! Thread a #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] self-tapping screw
through each hole and back it out. Apply a couple drops of
thin CA glue to each hole to harden the wood. When the glue
has dried, install the control horns onto the ailerons using
four #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] self-tapping screws.
