Rudder, Elevator and Throttle
Servo Installation
4. Install the rubber grommets and eyelets in the three remaining
servos. It's helpful to label each servo as to its function
(i.e., rudder, elevator, throttle) by using a piece of masking tape
attached to the connector end of each servo lead. This will be
helpful for connecting the servos to the receiver after they're
installed in the servo tray. Note also the use of "R", "E", and "T"
to identify where the servos are placed on the servo tray.
Position the three servos in the fuselage servo tray as shown,
noting the location of the output horns. Using a pencil or felt
tipped pen, mark the 12 servo mounting hole positions.
