4. Remove the servo from the hatch cover and
use epoxy to glue the blocks to the hatch cover.
❏ ❏
5. When the epoxy is fully cured, position the
servo against the underside of the aileron servo hatch
cover between the mounting blocks. Place a piece of
paper folded several times between the servo and
the hatch cover to space the servo away from the
hatch cover. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the
mounting tabs on the servo case into the blocks.
Thread a servo mounting screw (included with the
servo) into each hole and back it out. Remove the
piece of paper and apply a drop of thin CA to each
hole to harden the wood. When the CA has dried,
install the servo onto the hatch cover using the
hardware supplied with the servo.

6. Use the strings taped inside the aileron servo
hatches to pull the servo leads through the wing ribs.
❏ ❏
7. Drill a hole into the wing through each hole in
the hatch cover using a 1/16" [1.6mm] drill bit. Thread
a #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] self-tapping screw into each hatch
mounting hole and back it out. Apply a drop of thin CA
to each hole to harden the wood. Install the aileron
hatch cover to the wing as shown using four #2 x 3/8"
[9.5mm] self-tapping screws and four #2 fl at washers.
❏ ❏
8. Mount the fl ap servo and hatch cover in the
same way. If using a Y-harness, the fl ap servo requires
a 6" [152mm] servo extension. If you plan to connect
the fl ap servo directly to the receiver, install a 12"
[305mm] extension.
