Section 5: Installing The Retract Servo - Hangar 9 P-51 Mustang ARF Instruction Manual

Section 5
Installing the Retract Servo
Parts Needed
Wing assembly
Retract servo-mounting plate
Balsa retract servo rails (2)
Retract servo w/hardware
(rubber grommets and eyelets mounting screws)
Easy connector (2)
Tools and Adhesives Needed
6-minute epoxy
Drill
Drill Bit: 1/16"
Side cutters
Phillips screwdriver
Felt-tipped pen
Hobby knife
Note: The retract mechanism and retract control
wires for the P-51 come preinstalled from Hanger 9™.
Step 1. Locate the two balsa servo mounting rails. Trial fit these
into the wing center section as shown. It may be necessary to
open up the center notch in the rails to fit over the center root
ribs, trim away the balsa with a sharp hobby knife until the
desired fit is achieved. Do not glue in the rails at this time.
Step 2. Install the servo mounting hardware included with your
retract servo, (rubber grommets and eyelets). Locate the retract
servo mounting plate included with your kit and trial fit the servo
into the mounting plate.
Note: The Hangar 9 P-51 retract system is designed
to use a low-profile retract servo such as the JR NES703.
Step 3. Mark the location for the servo mounting screws using
a felt-tipped pen or pencil. Remove the retract servo from the
mounting plate and using a 1/16" drill bit, drill the holes for the
servo mounting screws. Temporarily mount the retract servo to
the mounting plate using the screws supplied with the servo.
