10. Tie the string inside the aileron servo opening to

the aileron servo lead. Pull the servo lead out of the end of
the wing with the string, then pull the lead through the servo
lead’s hole in the top of the wing. Test fit the servo in the
opening and trim the opening if necessary. Mark the location
of the servo mounting screws and drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes
at the marks. Wick some thin CA in the holes you just made
and install the aileron servo with the hardware that was
supplied with it.

threaded on one end pushrods approximately 18 full turns.
Connect the clevis to a large nylon control horn and slip a
silicone retainer onto it. Align the pushrod 90 degrees to the
aileron’s edge as shown above and mark the control horn
screw mounting holes on the aileron. Position the control
horn on the aileron as shown in the above line drawing.

12. Use a 1/16" [1.6mm] drill bit to drill the control

horn’s screw holes. Wick some thin CA into the holes and
mount the control horn using two 2-56 x 5/8mm" [16mm]
machine screws and the control horn’s back plate. You may
cut away any excess threads.
