Using modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering material from over the precut slot in one servo hatch cover.
Remove the servo and glue the two servo mounting blocks into place, using a generous amount of 5 minute
epoxy. Remove any excess epoxy, using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and allow the epoxy to completely set
up before proceeding.
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVO HATCH COVER ASSEMBLIES
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering material from over the two precut aileron servo lead exit
holes in the top of the bottom wing. The holes are located near the centerline of the wing, 4-3/4" in front of the trailing edge.
Working with one servo hatch cover assembly for now, run the servo extension lead through the factory-installed paper
tube; run it through the tube from the servo hatch and out the servo extension exit hole.
Set the servo hatch cover assembly into place, making sure that the servo arm is positioned toward the leading edge
and the tip of the wing.
Temporarily place the aileron servo, along with two servo
mounting blocks, onto the bottom of the servo hatch cover.
The servo arm should be inserted through, and centered
within, the precut slot, as shown. It's important that the middle
of the servo arm be 9/16" behind the front of the slot, too.
IMPORTANT
You will need to cut a notch in one of the
blocks so that it doesn't interfere with the servo wire.
When satisfied with the alignment, mark the locations of
the servo mounting blocks onto the servo hatch cover.
After the epoxy has completely set up, mount the servo
securely to the servo mounting blocks.
IMPORTANT
To prevent the blocks from splitting, first
drill 1/16" diameter pilot holes for the mounting screws.
Repeat the previous procedures to install your second
aileron servo onto the remaining servo hatch cover.
Using a modeling knife, carefully cut away and remove the
covering material from over the two aileron servo hatches in
the bottom of the bottom wing. The servo hatches are 2-1/2"
square and are located directly in front of the aileron hinge line,
6" in from the wing tip.
