1. Add a servo extension to the aileron servo, so that the
total length of the lead will be at least 30" [760mm] from the
servo to the end of the extension. Using tape or heat-shrink
tubing, securely attach the servo extension to the servo.

2. Using needle nose pliers, pull the string out of the
right aileron servo hole. Tie the string to the end of the servo
lead. Note: Take care not to pull the string loose from the
root end of the wing.

wing. Fit the aileron servo in the wing. Slide the flap servo
lead through the wing and fit the flap servo.

4. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the servo mounts
for the servo screws. Add a few drops of thin CA to the holes
and allow to fully harden. Mount the aileron and flap servos
using the hardware that came with the servos.

[286mm] from the inboard end.

7. Center the control horns on the marks you made and
align the LE of the control horn with the LE of the control
surface. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the plywood plates
using the control horns as a guide. Note: Take care to not drill
through the top of the control surface.
❏ ❏
8. Mount the control horns using #4 x 1/2" [13mm]
