D 19 Use two #2 x 3/8" screws to secure the aileron lock
in position Remove the popsicle sticks and clothespins If

you decide to install a servo at a later date, simply install
the servo in place of the aileron lock The location of the
Z-bends should work with most servos to provide the
correct setup as described in steps 10-14 of this section

D 20 Go back and check your installation. Be sure that
all servo screws, horns and other components are secure

D 21 Apply a strip of 1/16" thick foam wing-seating tape

(Great Planes GPMQ4422 recommended) to the top edges

of the wing saddle area of the fuselage This tape provides
a positive seal against dirt and exhaust oil, and cushions
the wing from vibration
