4. Use the strings taped inside the aileron servo hatches
to pull the servo leads through the wing.
❏
5. Position the aileron servo hatch covers in place and drill
a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through the mounting holes and into
the hatch mounting blocks. Thread a #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] self-
tapping screw into each hole and back it out. Apply a drop
of thin CA to each hole to harden the wood surrounding the
hole. Install the hatch covers to the wings using eight #2 x
3/8" [9.5mm] self-tapping screws and eight #2 fl at washers.
❏
6. Thread a nylon clevis 20 complete turns onto each 4"
[102mm] pushrod. Slide a silicone clevis retainer onto each
clevis and connect the clevises to the outer holes of two
control horns.

7. Position the control horns over the plywood plates in
the ailerons (if you cannot see them, hold the aileron at a
shallow angle in good lighting or use a small pin to puncture
the covering) using the position of the servo arms as a
guide. Align the holes in the control horns directly over the
aileron hinge line and mark the location of the control horn
mounting holes.
❏
8. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes at the marks you made
through the plywood plates. Do not drill all the way through
the ailerons! Thread a #2 x 1/2" [13mm] self-tapping screw
through each hole and back it out. Apply a couple drops of
thin CA glue to each hole to harden the wood. When the glue
has dried, install the control horns onto the ailerons using
four #2 x 1/2" [13mm] self-tapping screws.
