3.1.1. Rudder Servo and Linkage

SIAI Marchetti SF-260 www.carf-models.com
A hatch for the rudder servo is worked into
bottom of the fuselage rear, with cover. This
cover will be secured later with a screw in each
corner.
The rudder servo is installed into the pre-
fabricated servo mount within the fin. The slots
for the servo arm must be determined and cut.
This is easily accomplished with the aid of a
small, bright light (LED flashlight works well).
The silhouette cast (visible on the outer skin)
gives a good indication of the servo arm and
rotation axis. A slot is then cut large enough to
assure unrestricted movement of the arm and
linkage.

back).
The clear plastic fairing is not included with
the kit, and must be painted before mounting.
