Preparations; Build The Wing; Install The Aileron Servos & Pushrods - GREAT PLANES F1 Rocket Evo Instruction Manual

PREPARATIONS

❏
1. If you have not done so already, remove the major parts
of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any parts
are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the
address or telephone number listed in the "Kit Inspection"
on the previous page.
❏
2. Use a covering iron with a covering sock on high heat
to tighten the covering if necessary. Apply pressure over
sheeted areas to thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.

BUILD THE WING

Begin the wing assembly with the right wing panel so your
assembly matches the photographs in the manual.
Install the Aileron Servos & Pushrods
❏ ❏
1. Cut three arms from a four-armed servo arm for each
aileron servo. Enlarge the outer hole of the remaining servo
horn arms with a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit. Center the servos with
your radio system and install the servo arms to the servo
perpendicular to the servo case as shown. Be sure to reinstall
the servo arm screws into the servos.
❏ ❏
2. Place your servo onto the servo tray, using it as
a guide for the installation of the aileron servo mounting
blocks. Use epoxy to glue the 3/4" x 3/4" x 5/16" [19x19x8mm]
hardwood servo mounting blocks to the inside of the hatch
cover. Set the cover aside to allow the glue to harden.
❏ ❏
3. With the epoxy completely cured from step 2, drill
1/16" [1.6mm] holes in the hatch covers through the mounting
blocks approximately 3/8" [9.5mm] deep. Thread a 5/64" x
3/8" [2 x 10mm] washer head wood screw into each hole and
back it out. Apply a drop of thin CA glue into each hole to
harden the wood. When the CA glue has dried, thread a 5/64"
x 3/8" [2 x 10mm] washer head screw into each of the holes.
❏ ❏
4. Attach a 6" [152mm] servo extension to each aileron
servo and secure the connector using tape or heat shrink
tubing (not included).
❏ ❏
5. Position the servos against the underside of the
aileron servo hatch covers between the mounting blocks.
Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the mounting tabs on the
servo cases into the blocks. Thread a servo mounting screw
(included with the servo) into each hole and back it out. Apply
a drop of thin CA to each hole to harden the wood. When the
CA has dried, install the servos onto the hatch covers using
the hardware supplied with the servos.
