16. Cut four pieces of clear tape from the supplied

tape using scissors and use them to attach the servo

cover to the wing. Make sure the servo can operate

without binding on the servo cover.

You can also glue the cover to the wing using canopy

glue or epoxy. The only drawback is that if you ever

have a problem with the servo you may damage the

cover and wing covering removing the servo cover.

17. Repeat Steps 1 through 16 to install the

remaining aileron servo linkage.

1. Secure a 9-inch (228mm) servo extension to

the aileron servo lead. Use thread or dental floss

to secure the two together so they do not become

unplugged inside the fuselage.

You can also use large heat shrink to secure the

extension to the servo lead. Be careful not to get

the heat shrink too hot as it could distort the plug.

2. Slide the short and long wing rods into one

of the wing panels. The longer wing rod will be

inserted near the trailing edge of the wing, and the

shorter rod toward the leading edge of the wing.

3. Slide the wing tubes into the fuselage.

Make sure to guide the aileron servo extension

into the fuselage so the wing can fit tight against

the fuselage.
