Then install the servo to the wing as shown. Ensure that the wiring loom is loose
installed to the servos prior to gluing. Route the loom in FRONT of the servos to
ensure that it does not interfere with the linkage. Put some heatshrink over the
connectors to ensure that they remain secure. Bring the green mpx connector out
through the hole provided in the wing root.
NOTE: To glue the servo in use 30 minute epoxy with a very large amount of
microballoons mixed in. Only use a SMALL amount of glue on the perimeter of
the underside of the servo.
To create a very secure slop free linkage it is essential to tie the servo in to the lower
skin as well as the top skin. To do this you can use 1mm ply or 1mm G10 epoxy
board as shown below. Again, use glue sparingly to secure the bridge to the front
and rear of the aperture, and then also to secure the servo to the centre of the
bridge.
To remove, Dremel the bridge free and remove it, and then pop the servo free of the
upper skin by twisting it.
NOTE: Do not over prepare your servos with lots of scuffing with sandpaper.
This will make them very difficult to remove in the event of failure. Only put
minimal scuffing around the edges, and only put a <2mm bead of glue around
the perimeter of the base of the servo when gluing in. Use a LOT of
microballoons in the mix to prevent the epoxy being too strong.
