just protrudes into the inside of the fuse. Then mark the tube

on the outside (allowing 1/4" extra) and cut it off. Repeat for
the other side.

D 4. With the cable guide tubes in place, apply thin CA

where they enter the fuse.

D 5. Cut and sand the tubes off even with the surface of

the fuse top.

INSTALL SERVO RAILS

NOTE: The plans and photos show installation of Futaba S-33
servos. If you are using a different type servo you may have to
modify the servo rails and installation procedure.

5. Cut a heavy paper shim and lay it on the fuse

bottom, under the servos (to prevent the servos from touch-

ing the bottom). With the servos and rails in place, glue the
rails to the fuse sides and F-4 with thin CA. Remove the
servos after the glue has hardened.

1. While you can still easily reach through F-4, place

a few drops of thick CA on the fuse bottom in the receiver
area and smooth it out with a piece of waxed paper. This
Strengthens the balsa in the area where the receiver will be
fastened with Velcro.

2. Stick two servos together with the square of
double-stick tape. NOTE: Make sure the servos are
positioned as shown on the plan.

D 6. Cut 1/4" balsa triangles to fit under the servo rails.

Glue in place. Add thick CA as necessary for secure glue

joints.

INSTALL WING PLATE

D 1. Find the 1/8" x 1/2" x 2-1/16" birch ply wing plate

and sand it as necessary to fit snugly between the fuse sides.

D 3. Install the servo grommets and eyelets, and mount

the servos to the die-cut 1/8" ply servo rails using the screws

provided with your radio.

D 4. Sand the servo rails a little at a time until the

servo/rail assembly fits snugly between the fuse sides at the
front of F-4.

D 2. Position the wing plate exactly as shown on the

plan and glue it in place.

D 3. Build up fillets of thick CA or epoxy all around the

wing plate, on top and bottom, to securely lock it in place.

NOTE: This installation must be very strong!
