INSTALL THE AILERON/FLAP SERVOS
AND PUSHRODS
❏ ❏
1. Remove the aileron and fl ap covers from the
right wing panel.
❏ ❏
2. Glue two 5/16" x 3/4" x 3/4" [8 x 19 x 19mm]
hardwood blocks to the servo cover. Position the
blocks so the servo fi ts between the blocks and the
servo horn is centered in the opening.
❏ ❏
3. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through the servo
cover into the center of the servo mounting blocks.
Install and then remove a #2 x 3/8" [10mm] wood
screw into the holes you drilled. Apply a drop of thin
CA into the holes to harden the threads. Once the glue
has cured install the screws into the servo cover.
❏ ❏
4. Install a 12" servo extension onto the servo
lead. Secure the extension to the lead with tape, a
piece of shrink tube or some other method to keep
them from coming unplugged.
❏ ❏
5. Using a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit, enlarge the
outer hole on the servo horn. Place the servo onto
the servo mounting blocks. Drill through the servo
mounting holes with a 1/16" [1.6mm] drill bit. Remove
the servo from the servo cover. Install and then
remove a servo mounting screw into each of the
holes you have drilled. Apply a drop of thin CA into
the holes to harden the threads. Once the glue has
cured install the servo onto the servo cover using the
hardware included with your servo. Center the servo.
Then install a servo arm as shown.

6. Inside the servo bay a string is taped. Tie the
string to the servo extension. Pull the string and the
servo lead through the wing. Do not untie the string
from the servo lead.
