5. Use a Hobbico Servo Horn Drill (HCAR0698) (or a
#48 or 5/64" drill bit) or a hobby knife to enlarge the hole in
the aileron servo arm for the aileron pushrod. Connect the
aileron servo to the aileron with the hardware shown on the
plan and in the photo. When mounting the aileron control
horn to the aileron, use the holes in the horn as a guide to drill
1/16" holes for the #2 x 3/8" screws. Add a drop of thin CA
to each hole and allow it to harden before mounting the horn.
❏
6. If you haven’t already done so, build the other aileron,
then mount the servo and connect it to the aileron the
same way.
Just a few last-second things to do, then it’s on to the
fuselage.
❏
1. Glue the die-cut 3/32" balsa forward support to the
spars with the bottom edge even with the bottom of the wing.
Glue the die-cut 1/8" plywood side support to rib W5.
❏
2. Glue the die-cut 1/8" plywood wing strut support to
the forward support and the side support, then glue the die-cut
3/32" balsa aft support into position as shown.
❏
3. Cut a hole in the bottom wing sheeting that will not
interfere with the main wing struts, then use the string you
built into the wing to route the servo wires through the hole
and out to the servos. Connect the extension cords to the
servo wires. Secure the connection with vinyl tape or clips
intended for that purpose.
❏
1. Position the fuselage plan so the fuselage side view is
over your flat building board. Cover the plan with Great
Planes Plan Protector.
❏
2. Pin one of the die-cut 1/8" plywood forward fuselage
sides and one of the die-cut 1/8" balsa aft fuselage sides
over their locations on the plan. Cut the fuselage stringers
from a 1/8" x 1/2" x 36" balsa stick and glue them into
position, joining the forward and aft fuselage sides.
