PREPARATIONS

Tighten the Covering

Refer to the separate instruction sheet titled How To Tighten
Covering On ARF Models. Follow the instructions to tighten
the covering. If you prefer to get started on assembly right
away, the tightening process could be done later (but it is
usually easiest to do while the model is still in separate pieces).

ASSEMBLE THE WINGS

Install the Aileron Servos & Pushrods
Do the right wing fi rst so your work matches the photos
the fi rst time through.
❏ ❏
1. Cut three arms from your servo horn so you have
a single arm horn. Depending on your brand of servo the
length of the arms may vary. Choose an arm with a hole that
measures approximately 1/4" [6mm] from the center of the
servo to the hole. Enlarge the hole with a 1/32" [.8mm] drill bit.
❏ ❏
2. Remove the aileron servo cover from the wing. Place
the servo onto the inside of the cover, making sure the servo
arm is centered in the slot. Glue a 1/4" x 1/4" x 3/8" [6mm
x6mm x 9.5mm] hardwood block to the servo cover on each
side of the servo.
❏ ❏
3. Place the servo between the mounting blocks. Drill
a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole into each of the mounting blocks. (This
is the correct hole for Futaba mounting screws. Check your
screws and determine the size drill that is correct for it.) Secure
the servo to the blocks with the servo mounting screws.
❏ ❏
4. Install a 6" [152mm] servo extension onto the servo.
Secure the connectors with heat shrink tubing included in
the kit. Do not skip this step. The holes that the lead goes
through in the wing are only slightly larger than the servo
connector. Not securing the connector could lead to the
leads unplugging when you pull the leads through the wing
in the next step.
