Flip the wing over and repeat. 2. - Page 4 3. Locate the composite aileron control horn, aileron pushrod with z-bend and ez- connector. Remove the covering over the mounting hole for the control horn with your #11 blade. Glue the control horn in place with medium CA. Electronically center your servo and mount the ez-connector to the servo arm. Place the z-bend in the aileron control horn and the other end of the wire into the hole in the ez- connector.
