Install The Aileron Servos - GREAT PLANES Performance Reactor Instruction Manual

❏ ❏
6. Dip both ends of each hinge (about two barbs deep)
into your epoxy cup.
❏ ❏
7. Fit the hinges into the wing, making sure that you
align each one. Fit the aileron tightly and defl ect it a few
times in both directions. This will straighten any hinges that
are slightly out of alignment.
❏ ❏
8. Clean up any excess epoxy that has squeezed out
of the pocket using a paper towel. Check both sides of the
hinge line.
❏ ❏
9. Use masking tape to hold the aileron snug up against
the hinge line. Set the wing aside and allow the epoxy to fully
cure before you remove the tape or move the ailerons.
❏
10. Repeat steps 2 through 9 for the left wing.

Install the Aileron Servos

To get the best performance from your Reactor, we recommend
that you use four Futaba 9155 digital servos. These precision
servos have the right amount of torque (153 oz-in [11 kg-cm])
and will give you the best control. As a budget alternative you
can use a metal geared servo with a minimum 100 oz-in [7.2
kg-cm] torque rating but you should expect a slower response
and some control blow-back at higher speeds. DO NOT use
only one aileron servo per wing, no matter what the torque
rating.
❏ ❏
1. Prepare your outboard aileron servo with a 24"
[610mm] extension. Prepare the inboard servo with a 6"
[152mm] extension. Use heat shrink tubing to secure the
connectors so they do not come loose. Note: If you anticipate
mounting your radio equipment in the aft-most equipment
bay, you do not need the 6" [152mm] extensions installed.
❏ ❏
2. Locate the aileron servo bays on the underside of
the wing and trim away the covering. If you have not done so
already, use a covering iron to tack down the covering before
you trim.
