Hook Up The Ailerons - GREAT PLANES RIFLE1m Instruction Manual

❏
3. Load the other end of the wire into the Z-bend pliers
as shown. View the wire from the end making sure the fi rst
Z-bend is laying horizontally to the next Z-bend (as shown in
the top photo). Squeeze the pliers to make the second bend.
❏
4. You should now have a pushrod wire with Z-bends
1-7/8" [48mm] apart. Cut the ends of the wires approximately
1/8" [3mm] from the ends of the Z-bends and use a metal fi le
or a reinforced cutoff wheel to square and de burr the ends.

5. Make another aileron pushrod the same way.

Hook Up the Ailerons

❏
1. Connect the aileron servos to the extensions coming
out of the fuselage from the receiver. Connect a battery
and turn on the transmitter so you can operate the servos.
Program a mix so the servos respond opposite each other in
the correct direction to aileron control stick inputs.

2. Same as was done for the elevator servo, connect
servo arms that will be angled slightly forward at about a 5°
to 10° angle. Cut off the unused arms. If necessary, use the
sub trims to get both arms the same angle.
❏
3. Secure the servo arms to the servos with the screws—
use threadlocker if the output shaft is metal.
❏
4. Use medium-grit sandpaper to sand any residual foam
from the underside of the top wing skin to which the aileron
servos will be glued. Tip: This is easily done with adhesive-
back sandpaper stuck to your fi nger.
