14. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes in two 5/16" x 3/4" x 7/8"
[7.9 x 19.1 x 22.2mm] servo mount blocks and mount the
aileron servo to the blocks using the screws that came with
the servo. Glue the servo mount blocks to the inside of the
flap servo cover with 6-minute epoxy.
❏ ❏
15. After the epoxy has hardened, remove the screws
that mount the servos to the blocks. Apply a few drops of
thin CA to the holes and allow to harden. Remount the servo
to the blocks.
❏ ❏
16. Tie the string inside the flap servo bay to the flap
servo wire. Pull the servo wire out the root of the wing with
the string. Feed the end of the wire through the hole in the
top of the wing center-section. Remove the string from the
servo wire and tape it to the top of the wing to prevent the
servo wire from falling back into the wing.
❏ ❏
17. Use four #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] sheet metal screws and
four #2 flat washers to attach the cover to the wing.
❏
18. Repeat steps 1-17 for the left wing panel.
❏ ❏
1. Position a small nylon control horn on the aileron,
positioning it as shown in the sketch and aligning it with the
servo. Mark the location for the screw holes. Drill through the
marks you made with a 3/32" [2.4mm] drill bit. Mount the
nylon control horn to the aileron by inserting two 2-56 x 5/8"
[2-56 x 16mm] machine screws through the control horn
and into the nylon mounting plate on the top of the aileron.
❏ ❏
2. Locate a .074" x 6" [1.9 x 152mm] pushrod wire
threaded on one end. Thread a nylon clevis onto the
threaded end of the wire 20 turns. Install a silicone clevis
retainer onto the clevis. Then, install the clevis on the aileron
control horn.
❏ ❏
3. Be sure the aileron servo is centered (plug the servo
into the receiver and turn the radio on to re-center it properly
if you are unsure). Enlarge the hole in the servo arm with a
Hobbico Servo Horn Drill (or a #48 or 5/64" [2mm] drill bit).
Center the aileron and align the wire pushrod with the hole
in the end of the servo arm. Using a marker, mark the location
where the wire aligns with the hole in the servo arm. On that
mark make a 90° bend. From the bend measure an additional
3/8" [9.5mm] and then cut off the excess pushrod wire.
❏ ❏
4. Install the wire into the hole in the servo arm using
a nylon FasLink as shown in the sketch.
❏ ❏
5. Position a small nylon control horn on the flap,
positioning it in the same manner as you did the aileron. Mark
