5. Position the control horn on the aileron and

trace the outline of the horn onto the wing using a

felt-tip pen.

6. Use a hobby knife and a new #11 blade to

remove the covering 1/16-inch (1.5mm) from the

inside of the lines drawn in the previous step. Use

care not to cut into the underlying wood of the

aileron.

Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol

to remove the lines from the aileron once

the covering has been removed.



7. Use medium CA to glue the aileron control

horn to the aileron. Allow the CA to fully cure

before proceeding.

8. Insert the Z-bend of the aileron pushrod into the

hole of the servo arm that is farthest from the center

of the arm.



9. Slide the pushrod keeper onto the aileron

pushrod wire as shown in the photo.

There are two pairs of pushrod keepers included

with your aircraft. The correct ones for the aileron

pushrods will have larger holes than the elevator

pushrod keepers. If the keepers are difficult to

slide on the wire, try a different keeper, as they

should slide easily on the pushrod wire. Make

sure that these pushrod keepers are slid on to the

pushrods before making the bend in Step 11.



10. Make sure the aileron servo has been centered

using the radio system. Mark the pushrod using a

felt-tip pen where it crosses the hole in the aileron

control horn that is one up from the bottom of the

horn as shown.
