ASSEMBLE THE WING

Install the Aileron Servos

❏ ❏
1. Cut a 3/16" x 1/2" [4.8 x 13mm] slot in the bottom
of the wing centered with the aft end of the hole in the root
rib and 3/16" [4.8mm] from the wing center.
❏ ❏
2. Slide the aileron servo lead through the wing and
out the hole you just made.
❏ ❏
3. Plug the servos and battery into your receiver. Turn
on the transmitter to center the servos.
❏ ❏
4. Make a one-sided servo arm and position it on the
servo as shown in the picture. Make sure that the arm is
centered with the radio on and the trim centered.
❏ ❏
5. Clean the side of the servo with alcohol. Lightly coat the
inside of the servo opening with medium CA. Press the servo into
the center of the servo opening. Use the pushrod and servo
cover to position the servo.
NOTE: If the CA is not spread thin enough it might wick into the
servo and cause the gears to bind. Do Not Use Thin CA!
❏ ❏
6. From the 1/16" x 6" [1.6mm x 150mm] pushrod
make a pushrod with Z bends on each end that goes from
the servo arm to the center of the hinge line.
❏ ❏
7. Cut the covering from the control horn slot on the
bottom of the aileron. Fit the plywood control horn to the
pushrod. Fit the control horn in the slot. Make sure that the
arm is centered with the radio on and the trim centered.
Align the aileron TE and wing TE, then glue the control horn
to the aileron with thin CA.
❏ ❏
8. Trim the plastic aileron servo cover and place over
the servo. Check that the cover does not interfere with the
movement of the servo. Tape the cover to the wing.
