Section 5: Installing The Radio

Parts Needed
• 2 to 4-channel radio system with 2 standard servos
and hardware (not included)
• Radio packing foam (not included)
Note: Velcro tape can also be used for mounting the receiver
and battery pack.
Step 1. Install the grommets and eyelets in the two servos per
the instructions included with the radio.
Step 2. Locate the two plywood servo rails in the fuselage.
Note: The rails have not been glued in place yet. Move the rails
to the approximate opening for your servos. Trial fit the two
servos on the rails. Try to place each servo close to the sides of
the fuselage, as shown below. Note: It's a good idea to remove
the two servo arms at this time to make it easier to fit the servos
in place.
Note: Position the two servos so there is ample room
between the servo horns. Remember you can make
adjustments to the servo rails to make it easier to fit
the servos in place. It is also important to orientate the
servo output shaft as shown.
Step 3. Once you are satisfied with the servo's location, use a
pencil or felt tipped pen to mark where the mounting holes of the
two servos are located on the servo rails. Also mark the position
of the two servo rails. Remove the two servos and use thick CA
to glue the servo rails in place.

Step 4. Drill the 8 mounting holes with a
the servos in place using the 8 screws provided with the servos.
Step 5. Remove the servo horns from the servos. Only one
arm of a servo horn will be used, the other three will be trimmed
off so the horn doesn't bind with the side of the fuselage. Please
refer to the photo below before trimming the horn. The elevator
servo is on the left side as you look down from the front of the
fuselage; the rudder servo is on the right side. Trim off the
excess arms using a sharp hobby knife.
