7. Place the servo cover onto the wing. The
opening for the servo arm should be pointed
towards the wing tip. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole
through each corner of the cover. Remove the cover.
Then install and remove a #2 x 3/8" [10mm] screw
into the holes you drilled. Apply a drop of thin CA
into the holes to harden the threads. Once the glue
has hardened, mount the servo cover with #2 x 3/8"
[10mm] screws and #2 fl at washers.
❏ ❏
8. Place a nylon control horn in line with the
outer hole in the servo arm. When positioned properly
the control horn will rest on a hardwood plate in the
aileron. Mark the location of the mounting holes onto
the aileron. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole on the marks,
drilling through the plywood plate but not through
the top of the aileron. Insert and remove a #2 x3/8"
[10mm] screw into each of the holes. Apply a couple
drops of thin CA into the holes to harden the threads.
Once the glue has hardened attach the horn to the
aileron with two #2 x 3/8" [10mm] screws.
❏ ❏
9. Screw a nylon clevis onto a .074 x 6" [152mm]
threaded wire 20 turns. Slide a nylon clevis retainer
onto the clevis. Install the clevis into the second
hole from the end of the control horn. Then slide the
silicone retainer over the clevis. Center the servo
and the aileron. With a fi ne tip marker, mark the wire
where it aligns with the outer hole of the servo arm.
Make a 90 degree bend on the mark. Cut the wire so
the wire is 3/8" [10mm] in length after the bend. Insert
the wire into the servo arm and lock it in place with a
nylon Faslink.

10. Glue two 5/16" x 3/4" x 3/4" [8 x 19 x 19mm]
hardwood blocks to the fl ap servo cover. Position
the blocks so the servo fi ts between the blocks.
❏ ❏
11. 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.
❏ ❏
12. 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 and then install a servo arm
as shown.
❏ ❏
13. Tie the fl ap servo lead to the string with the
aileron servo lead. This one string will be used to pull
the leads through the wing center section.
❏ ❏
14. Place the fl ap servo cover onto the wing. For
the right wing the opening for the servo arm should
be pointed towards the wing tip. (For the left wing
the servo will be located toward the root rib.) Drill a
1/16" [1.6mm] hole through each corner of the cover.
Remove the cover. Then install and remove a #2 x
3/8" [10mm] screw into the holes you drilled. Apply a
drop of thin CA into the holes to harden the threads.
Once the glue has hardened, mount the servo cover
with #2 x 3/8" [10mm] screws and #2 fl at washers.
