Step 1: Installing the Elevator, Rudder, Throttle & Aileron Servos
Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto your elevator, rudder , throttle and two aileron servos, making sure
to install the collets with the flanges toward the bottom of the servo.
Cut away and remove the covering material from over the servo lead exit hole in the top of the wing. The exit hole is
located on the centerline of the wing, 4-1/2" in front of the trailing edge. The hole is 1" in diameter.

YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
Cut and install several pieces of foam rubber between
the fuel tank and the fuselage sides to secure the fuel tank
into place. When you install the hatch cover later on, put a
piece of foam on top of the tank so the hatch cover will hold
the tank down in place.
Make sure the foam will not interfere with installation of
the throttle pushrod wire.

Install the servos into the fuselage servo tray as shown.
Note the position of the servo output shafts. The elevator and
rudder servo output shafts should be toward the front of the
fuselage and the throttle servo output shaft should be toward
the back of the fuselage.
To make it easier to run the servo leads into the wing
saddle, install the two rear-most servos first.
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering
material from over the aileron servo cutouts. One cutout is
located in each half of the wing, 5-1/2" out from the side of the
belly pan and 4-1/2" in front of the aileron hinge line.
Install the servos and pull the servo leads out through
the exit hole in the top of the wing. Note the position of the
servo output shaft. It should be toward the trailing edge of
the wing.
