ASSEMBLE THE WINGS

Mount the Aileron Servos

❏
1. The same as was done for the rudder and elevator
servos, temporarily connect your aileron servos to your
receiver and power the system up. With the aileron trim
centered, fi nd the servo arms that will be 90° to each servo
and cut off the unused arms. Mount the arms to the servos.
❏
2. Hold two servo mounting blocks to one of the aileron
servos with pieces of thin cardstock between each block and
the servo and under the servo—if using standard-size servos
use two of the larger blocks, if using smaller servos like the
3102s use one of the smaller mounting blocks on the end
of the servo that has the wire coming out of it. Drill 1/16"
[1.6mm] holes into the blocks for the mounting screws.
❏
3. Mount the servo to the blocks with the screws that came
with the servos. Same as has been done all along, remove
the screws, add a few drops of thin CA to each screw hole,
allow to harden, and then re-mount the servos to the blocks.
❏
4. Mount the remaining three servos to the blocks the
same way.
❏
5. Use 30-minute epoxy to securely glue the servo blocks to
the aileron hatches with the servo arms centered in the slots.
The best way is to apply epoxy to the bottom of each block
and let it soak in for a few minutes. Then reapply another coat.
Also apply a fi lm of epoxy to the hatches where the blocks go,
and then glue the blocks into position. Use clamps or weights
to hold the blocks in place until the epoxy has hardened.
