Section 4: Installing the Aileron Linkages

Parts Needed
Wing assembly from Section 3
4-40 Aileron linkages (x 3
Control horns (2)
Screws (4)
Clevis (4)
Metal clevis keeper (4)
Jam nuts (4)
Step 1. Turn the wing upside down on a flat surface. From the
aileron servo control arm that is attached to your servo (if it is
not attached, do so now), use a felt-tipped pen and ruler to mark
the location of the servo horn, directly in-line with the servo
control arm as shown. Note the portion of the servo arm we use
is the one pointing toward the wingtip. Remember to locate the
control horn so the clevis holes are directly above the hinge line
of the aileron.
Step 2. Place the center of the control horn on the aileron at the
mark made in the previous step. Mark the hole positions of the
control horn.

Step 3. Remove the control horn and drill two 1/16" holes
through the aileron as marked. The trailing edge of the aileron
should be in line with the rest of the wing. Drill straight down at
a 90-degree angle to the flat surface.
Step 4. Attach the aileron control horn using the hardware
provided (two long brass screws and a nylon backplate) and
fasten it in place using a small Phillips screwdriver.
