o o 3 . Cut out three 1/2" x 1" [13mm x 25mm] pieces of thin
card stock (not supplied) . You may use construction paper,
an old cereal box, or a manila folder for this purpose . Lay the
servo on a flat surface with the arm hanging down over the
edge of your table . Locate two
12 x 8 x 20mm hardwood
blocks . Position the blocks under the servo mounting tabs
and place a piece of card stock in the locations shown .
Holding the blocks and servo in position, use a 1/16" [1 .6mm]
drill to drill four holes for the servo mounting screws .
o o 4 . Install the four servo mounting screws that came
with your servo . Remove the screws and harden each of
the screw holes with thin CA . This will create a durable
screw thread in the wood . Let the CA cure and reinstall
the screws .
o o 5 . With the hardwood blocks attached and each servo
arm still centered, position your servo on an aileron servo
bay cover so that the servo arm is centered in the opening
and exiting the opening . Please note: If you are using Futaba
servos, there are two laser-etched rectangles on each servo
bay cover which will help you position your servo .
6 . Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the other aileron servo .
o 7 . Mix up a small batch of 30-minute epoxy and apply it to
the hardwood blocks . Glue each servo block to its servo bay
cover . Use small clamps to hold the hardwood blocks tightly
in position . Position the clamps so that they are clamping the
hardwood directly . The clamps shown here are Excel 3-1/2"
[89mm] plastic clamps (EXLR5663) .
o 8 . Attach a 12" [305mm] servo lead extension to each
aileron servo . Use a piece of 3/8" [9 .5mm] diameter heat
shrink tubing (not supplied) to secure the connection .
Route the servo lead through each wing using the supplied
guide string .
o 9 . Route the other end of the servo lead through the hole
in the top of each wing .
