1. Installing the servos in the wing will require the use
of one 6" [152mm] servo extension for each aileron. One
Y-harness connector is required and is used to allow the aileron
servos to plug into one slot in your receiver. You may have a
computer radio that allows you to plug the servos into separate
slots and mix them together through the radio transmitter. If you
choose to mix them with the radio rather than the Y-harness,
refer to the instructions with your particular brand of radio.
❏ ❏
2. Remove the tape holding the servo cover to the wing.
Locate two 1/2" x 1/2" x 3/4" [12 x 12 x 20mm] hardwood
blocks. Place the blocks against the sides of your aileron
servo. When positioning the blocks they should be slightly
higher than the servo case. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through
the blocks for the servo screws. Using the hardware included
with your radio system screw the servos to the two blocks.
❏ ❏
3. Apply 6-minute epoxy to each block. Position the
blocks so that the servo arm is centered over the opening in
the cover. Clamp the blocks to the cover. When the glue has
hardened, remove the clamps.
❏ ❏
4. Mark the center of the hardwood blocks on the
cover. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through the marks, drilling
through the blocks. Install a #2 x 3/8" [9mm] wood screw into
each of the holes tightening them against the cover.
❏ ❏
5. Attach the servo extension to the aileron servo.
Secure the connectors together using a large piece of heat
shrink tubing, tape or other method for securing the
connectors together.
❏ ❏
6. Located in the wing in the servo compartment, a
string is taped to the wing skin. Tie the string to the end of
the servo wire. Pull the servo wire through the wing with the
string. Feed the servo wire out the hole in the bottom of the
wing center section. Tape the servo wire to the wing to
prevent it from falling back into the wing.
❏ ❏
7. Center the servo. Trial fit the servo cover into the
wing. Depending on the size and mounting position of your
particular servo you may need to trim away some of the
wood edge the cover rests on. Trim as needed to allow the
servo cover to be positioned properly on the wing.
