D 15 Cut off the excess tip stock following the
contour of the wing tip, and sand the entire wing

D 18 Thread the nylon swivels (NYLON20) onto
the torque rods until the pins are approx 3/4"
above the surface of the wing Screw a 12"
threaded pushrod wire
(WIRES16) all the way
onto
each nylon swivel clevis Back the threaded
wire out of each clevis approximately 4 turns and
snap them onto the nylon swivels.

D 16 Test fit your servo in the die-cut 1/8" ply
aileron servo tray (SKY6W10) Enlarge the tray
opening if needed to fit the servo Glue the tray in
position on the bottom wing The front edge of the

tray should be even with the back edge of the LE
sheeting Cut the balsa center sheeting out of the
inside of the servo tray opening.

D 19 Cut two opposing arms off a large 4-arm
servo horn, and drill out the outer holes to 5/64".

Install the horn on the servo Rotate the horn to its

neutral position, and lay the pushrod wires on top
of the horn Mark on the wires where they cross

the outer holes in the servo horn.

D 17 Insert the servo into the servo tray If the
servo hits the bottom sheeting before the mounting
lugs touch the tray, glue the 1/8" x 3/8" x 2"
basswood servo risers (SKY6W41) in place.
When satisfied with the fit of the servo, mount it
using the screws provided with your radio.

D 20 Make a Z-bend at each of the marks you

just made, and test fit the wires into the servo horn.

You may have to bend the pushrod wires slightly to
allow the wires to rotate smoothly.
