Section 3: Installing the Aileron Servos
Step 5. Using a 1/16" drill bit, drill the servo screw locations
marked in Step 4.
Step 6. Before mounting the servo, it would be wise to run the
servo lead and extension through the wing and out the opening
provided for each at the wing center on the top of the wing. Turn
the wing so you can see the root rib. Look carefully for a circular
opening near the root of the wing, in each wing panel. Trim away
the covering to expose the opening. Use a sharp hobby knife to
remove the covering over each opening using caution not to cut
into the wing sheeting.
Step 7. We suggest the following simple method to thread the
servo lead and extension through the wing servo opening. Attach
a weight (small nut) to a length of string and drop it through the
servo lead opening in the wing and allow it to exit through the
servo opening in the bottom of the wing.
Step 8. Once you have the string threaded through the wing, tie
it to the servo lead extension connector. Carefully thread the
servo wire extension through the wing.
Step 9. To prevent the extension from falling back inside the
wing, use masking tape to temporarily hold it in place by taping
the extension to the top of the wing.
Step 10. Secure the servo to the wing using the screws
provided with your radio.
Step 11. Repeat the procedure for the other servo.
Note: If using a non-computer radio, it will be necessary
to use a Y-harness to connect both aileron servos to the
aileron channel.
