8. Cut the covering away from the hole in the top of

the wing and feed the string, which is taped to the root rib
through the hole in top of the wing and re-tape it securely
near the hole.

❏ ❏

9. Install the servo per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Connect a 12" [305mm] servo extension wire (HCAM2711)
to the servo and secure it with tape or heat shrink material.
Tie the string to the aileron servo wire and pull the servo
wire out of the hole on top of the wing with the string. Tape
the connector to the wing to prevent it from falling back
inside the wing. Then discard the string.

❏ ❏

10. Place the servo into the wing and drill 1/16" [1.6mm]

holes in the wing for the servo mounting screws. Then,
mount the aileron servo using the screws that came with it.

❏ ❏

11. The servo arms for the aileron servos are placed

so that they point outboard from the servo. This is necessary

for proper function. Draw a line to the servo arm hole at
90-degrees from the aft edge of the aileron bay. At this
location mark and drill the two 1/16" [1.6mm] holes into the
bottom of the aileron for mounting the nylon control horn.
Saturate the holes with thin CA, wipe away any residual CA
and allow it to fully harden. Mount the aileron control horn
to the aileron with two #2 x 1/2" [13mm] sheet metal screws.

❏ ❏

12. Enlarge the hole in the servo arm with a Hobbico

Servo Horn Drill (HCAR0698) or a #48 or 5/64" [2mm] drill bit.
Install a clevis retainer and a clevis onto a 12" [305mm]
pushrod approximately 25 turns. Center the servo arm, align
the aileron with the trailing edge of the wing, and then mark the
location of the servo arm hole on the pushrod with a felt tip pen.

❏ ❏

13. Measure 1/2” [13mm] past the marked location

toward the non-threaded end of the pushrod and cut it off at
that point. Make a 90-degree bend in the pushrod at the
marked location (servo arm hole). Connect the servo to the
aileron as shown using a Faslink Connector.

14. Repeating steps 1 - 12, assemble the other wing the

same way.
