- Page 5 Step 4: Rudder and elevator servo install Installing these servos relatively straightforward as depicted in the image to the right. Simply attach both servos in place as shown using two woodscrews each. Note that higher torque servos are required here (MG90S will suffice). Drill 2mm pilot holes before securing.

- Page 7 Step 7: EDF install The position of the EDF in the DragonFly is unique and makes your aircraft quite efficient for an EDF model. To begin the EDF install, assemble your motor and fan unit in the usual manner. Make sure that the collet is fully secure on the motor shaft and that the rotor runs true and balanced.
