servo rail you installed earlier Test fit your servo in
place on the rails and cut out the top wing sheeting
if needed to allow you to install the servo mounting
screws Cut a notch in the sheeting for the servo
wire CAUTION: Do not cut into the center
wing spar!
D 8 Sand the leading edge of the ailerons to
the same "V"-shape as shown on the wing rib
detail drawing Round off the sharp corners on the
top and bottom of the aileron as shown on the
plans and in the photo
D 2. Use the aileron servo to determine where
to drill the mounting holes in the rails Drill the
holes with a 1/16" diameter bit and mount the
servo using the screws provided with your radio
Remove the servo and put a drop of thin CA on
each mounting hole and allow the glue to cure
Remount the servo and install a large "X" type
servo horn that has had two opposite arms cut off.
D 9 Insert the hinges into the slots and trial fit
the ailerons in place on the wing Do not glue the
hinges until after you have covered the wing.
Tape both ailerons in their neutral position and
check to see if the threaded portion of the torque
rods are both parallel and approximately
perpendicular to the wing surface If not, remove
the ailerons and twist the torque rods until they
are.
D 3. Cut threads in the two remaining nylon
torque rod horns (NYLON95) with a 6-32 thread -
cutting screw (provided) just as you did for the
elevator torque rods earlier Screw the nylon horns
onto the aileron torque rods until the holes are
approximately 5/8" above the wing sheeting.
INSTALL AILERON SERVO
D 1. Enlarge the hole you made for the aileron
servo on the bottom of the wing to fit your servo
The opening should extend to the back of the rear
D 4. Screw a nylon clevis (NYLON17) onto the
two remaining 12" threaded pushrod wires
(WIRES17) until the threads are exposed inside
the clevis Slide a silicone clevis retainer
