13. Hold an aileron in its neutral position, and mark the

pushrod wire where it crosses the outer hole on the servo

arm using a felt-tip pen.

❏ ❏

14. Cut off the aileron pushrod approximately 3/8" [10mm]

past the mark.

15. Make a 90º “L” bend at the mark that crosses the

servo arm.

16. Attach the rod to the servo arm. Use a plastic FasLink

to secure the wire to the servo arm. You may need to

enlarge the holes in the servo arms slightly to allow the wire

to pass through the arm. (The Hobbico Quick Drill

set

HCAR0699 works well for this purpose.)

1. Locate the holes for the wing bolts and remove the covering

from the top and bottom of the wing using a sharp hobby knife.

nylon wing bolts.

1. Locate the slot for the horizontal stabilizer and vertical fin

under the covering on the tail section of the fuselage by

gently pressing the covering with your finger. The elevator

slot is located on both sides of the fuselage. Using a sharp

hobby knife, carefully remove the covering, exposing the

slots. Note: Do not cut into the wood around the slot.
