Install The Aileron Servos And Pushrods - GREAT PLANES Reactor Instruction Manual

5. Confirm that there is a 3/32" [2.4mm] gap between
the outside end of the aileron and the wing tip. If not, adjust
the aileron as necessary for the proper gap. When satisfied,
deflect the aileron down far enough to obtain the 3D throws
recommended on page 28 and apply 6 drops of thin CA glue
to the center of each hinge. Flip the wing panel over and
apply 6 more drops to the underside of each hinge.
❏ ❏
6. Cut the covering 1/8" [3mm] inside the opening in
the wing for the aileron servo. Use a covering iron or trim
iron to seal the covering to the inner edges of the opening.

7. Repeat these steps for the right wing panel.

Install the Aileron Servos and Pushrods

❏ ❏
1. Installing the servos in the wing will require the use
of one 12" [305 mm] servo extension for each aileron servo.
One Y-harness connector is required and is used to allow
the aileron servos to plug into one slot in your receiver. You
may have a computer radio that allows you to plug the
servos into separate slots and then mix them together with
the radio transmitter. If you choose to mix them together with
the radio rather than a Y-harness, refer to the manual for
your particular model radio system.

2. Attach the 12" [305 mm] servo extension to the
aileron servo and secure it with a piece of the included large
heat shrink tubing. The tubing can be shrunk around the
connector with a heat gun or micro torch. Only 1-1/2" [38 mm]
of heat shrink tubing is required for each connector. If your
aileron servo has tabs molded into the case for mounting the
servo on its side, they must be cut off in order for the servo
to fit into the servo bay in the wing panel. Follow the
instructions included with the servo for cutting the tabs. Install
the eyelets and grommets included with the servo.

3. Securely tie the string from inside the opening for
the aileron servo to the end of the servo extension. Remove
the tape holding the other end of the string to the wing root
rib and pull the servo wire and extension through the wing.
