Install The Aileron Servo & Pushrods - GREAT PLANES COMBAT MUSTANG Combat P-51 ARF Instruction Manual

8. Position the plywood aileron servo tray over the servo
location in the center-section of the wing. Trace the outline
of the tray onto the wing with a fine-tipped marker. Carefully
cut the covering from the wing inside the lines you have
made on the wing. Be sure to only cut through the covering
and not the wood.
9. Glue the plywood aileron servo tray to the wing with
6-minute epoxy.
Install the Aileron Servo & Pushrods
1. Insert the aileron servo into the aileron servo tray.
Using the servo as your guide, drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole
through the servo tray for each of the mounting holes.
Remove the servo from the tray. Insert and then remove a
servo mounting screw (included with your servo) from each
of the holes you have drilled. Apply a couple of drops of thin
CA into the holes to harden the threads. When the CA has
cured, install the servo into the servo tray using the
hardware provided with your servo.
2. Locate a 2 x 114mm pushrod wire threaded on one
end. Screw a nylon clevis and a silicone clevis retainer
onto the threaded end of the wire 20 full turns. Install the
clevis onto one of the aileron torque rod connectors.
Center the servo arm and center the aileron. Mark the
location where the wire aligns with the hole in the servo arm.
Bend the wire 90 degrees on this mark and then cut the
excess wire 3/8" [9.5mm] above the bend.
3. Be sure the aileron servo is centered. Enlarge the
second hole in the servo arm with a Hobbico Servo Horn
Drill (or a #50 or 5/64" [2mm] drill bit). Attach the clevis to
the aileron torque rod connector, slide the silicone clevis
retainer over the clevis and install the wire into the servo
arm and retain it with a nylon FasLink. Do this for both the
left and right aileron.
