4. Connect both servos to the "Y" harness. Make sure the
"Y" harness exits through the hole in the center of the wing.
Use the strings pre-installed inside the wings to pull the servo
leads. Install the aileron servos into the trays.
❏
5. Install the aileron control horn (not included) on the
aileron as shown above. Make sure you use thin CA to
reinforce the holes in the aileron.

6. Cut the servo arm as shown above. Use a 6" [152mm]
pushrod, a clevis, clevis retainer and Faslink to make the
aileron pushrod.
❏
7. Set-up your new dual servos on your radio to have the
same aileron throw as the original airplane. Center the servo
arms and install the servo arm screws.
Your dual aileron servo installation is now fi nished.
Note: If using fl aperons, you will NOT be able to adjust the
PA-2 from your transmitter. YOU CAN however, move the PA-2
connector to channel 5 and turn it "ON" and "OFF" by the switch
on the upper left face of the transmitter labeled "GEAR".
The fl aperon function allows you to use the ailerons as
both ailerons and as fl aps. The fl ap control dial (channel 6)
operates the fl ap function. The fl aperon function can only be
used if using dual aileron servos. To activate fl aperon mixing,
follow the simple steps listed below.
1. Connect the aileron servo in the right wing to channel 1 in
the receiver and connect the servo in the left wing to channel
6. It will be necessary to use servo wire extensions to reach
the receiver.
2. Enter the transmitter programming mode by pressing
the "Mode" and "Select" keys simultaneously (with your
transmitter 'ON'), and pressing the "Mode" key until you see
the screen that reads "FLPR". You will notice the letters "INH"
which tells you that the channel is "Inhibited" or "Inactive",
push the DATA INPUT lever forward and the "INH" will turn to
"ON". Flaperon mixing is now active.
More information on fl aperon mixing can be found in your
6EXA manual on pages 14 to 15.
