Tighten The Covering; Assemble The Wings; Install The Aileron Servos - GREAT PLANES ESCAPADE .61 Instruction Manual

TIGHTEN THE COVERING

Refer to the separate instruction sheet titled How To Tighten
Covering On ARF Models. Follow the instructions to tighten
the covering. If you prefer to get started on assembly right
away, the tightening process could be done later (but it is
usually easiest to do while the model is still in separate pieces).

ASSEMBLE THE WINGS

Install the Aileron Servos

❏ ❏
1. Connect a 12" [300mm] servo extension to the aileron
servo and secure the connection with a 1-1/2" [40mm] piece
of heat shrink tubing included with this kit—shrink the tubing
with a heat gun, match or a hobby torch—use care not to
scorch the wires!
❏ ❏
2. Use the string in the wing to pull the servo extension
out the end and place the aileron servo in the wing.
❏ ❏
3. Temporarily mount the servo with the screws that
came with it. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes for the servo mounting
screws. Remove the screws and take out the servo. Add a
few drops of thin CA to each screw hole. Wait a minute for
the CA to harden and remount the servo. Don't over tighten
the servo mounting screws—just make sure the heads of the
screws apply a little pressure to the grommets and that the
servo is secure.
