Install the Aileron Servos & Pushrods

1. Trim the covering from the aileron servo bays on the

underside of the bottom wing panels as shown.

3. Trim approximately 1/16" [1.6mm] of covering from the

perimeter of the aileron servo bays. Glue the aileron servo
shims to the wing panels centered over the servo bays.

4. Feed the servo leads through the servo bays and out

the cutouts in the wing root ribs. Position the servos in the
servo bays with the splines toward the LE. Glue the aileron
servos to the servo shims with medium or thick CA. Attach a
6" [150mm] servo extension to each aileron servo. Use tape
to secure the extension to the servo lead.

5. Use your radio system to center the aileron servos. Servo

arms are provided to fi t the splines of most micro servo models.
Locate two double-sided servo arms that fi t the model servos
you are using. Test fi t a double-sided servo arm onto each
aileron servo. Determine which way the arm fi ts closest to being
parallel with the aileron hinge line. Cut off the unused sides of
the arms, leaving the sides that point to the wing tips.

6. Locate four adjustable clevises from the hardware

package. Slide a clevis onto one end of each 2x215mm
