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. Carefully remove the tape and separate all the control
surfaces. 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
Install the Aileron Servos & Pushrods
Before completing this section, confi rm that the servos that
you will be using will properly fi t between the servo mounting
block locations on the aileron servo hatch covers. Make
adjustments as necessary for your brand servos. The block
locations shown in this section will fi t a standard size Futaba
brand servo.
❏ ❏
1. Use epoxy to glue the 11/16" x 11/16" x 5/16"
[17.5mm x 17.5mm x 7.9mm] hardwood servo mounting
blocks to the insides of the hatch covers. Be sure that
the blocks are aligned over the rectangles with the grain
direction perpendicular to the covers as shown. Allow the
epoxy to cure.
❏ ❏
2. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole in the hatch covers
through the mounting blocks approximately 3/8" [9.5mm]
deep. Thread a #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] fl at head wood screw into
each hole and back it out. Apply a drop of thin CA glue to
each hole to harden the wood. When the CA glue has dried,
thread a #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] fl at head screw into each of the
four holes.
❏ ❏
3. Cut three arms from a four-armed servo arm for
each aileron servo. Enlarge the outer hole of each remaining
arm with a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit.
❏ ❏
4. Attach a 6" [152mm] servo extension to the aileron
servo and secure the connector using tape or heat shrink
tubing (not included). Center the servos with your radio
system and install the servo arms to the servos perpendicular
to the servo cases as shown. Be sure to reinstall the servo
arm screws into the servos.
❏ ❏
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.
