Page 5: Aileron Servo Installation
Wing The wing for the Shock 3D comes pre-assembled with the ailerons already hinged. All that is required to finish the wing is to install the aileron servos, control horns and attach the pushrods. AILERON SERVO INSTALLATION Locate the control horn slot by laying a straight edge along the outside edge on the servo opening. - Page 6 Install the control horn in the slot making sure that it is about 1/32” past the top surface of the aileron. Make sure the holes are aligned over the hinge line of the aileron. Locate the string, soft wire or a cable tie. Push it into the aileron servo cut out and fish it out the hole in the middle of the wing on the top side.
- Page 7 Screw the servo in place using the hardware supplied with the radio. Carefully pull the aileron y-connector through to the servo opening. Install the pushrod connector on your servo arm. The plastic push-on nut will retain it. Caution: Make sure the nylon nut is pushed all the way onto the pushrod connector.
- Page 8 Repeat for the other aileron servo. Stabilizer Mount Collect the following items. (1) stabilizer (1) right elevator Slide the stab into the precut slot in the fuselage. (1) left elevator (2) laser cut control horns Measure each side at the trailing edge to make (1) fuselage sure it is centered.
- Page 9 Hole for elevator wire Take one elevator half and install two CA hinges in the pre-cut slots. Locate the hole for the elevator joiner wire. Bolt the wing in place using the 4-40 x 3/4” socket head screw. Sight the stab from the rear and make sure that it is parallel with the wing.
- Page 10 Remove the pin and push elevator tight against the stab. Deflect the elevator to its full travel in the down position. Apply one drop of thin CA on each hinge. Turn the plane over and put one drop of CA on each hinge from the bottom side.
- Page 11 Glue Here Insert fin in the slot on top of fuselage and glue in place using thin CA. Install the rudder on the plane using straight pins to make sure the hinges stay centered just as we did with the elevators. Deflect the rudder in one direction to its full travel and put one drop of thin CA on each hinge.
- Page 12 Use the nylon swing in keepers to retain the pushrod on the control horns. Front Install the two servos using the hardware sup- plied with the radio. The output shafts should be to the front of the plane. Install the two pushrod connectors on the con- trol arms of the rudder and elevator servo as you did for the ailerons.
