aileron . Use a sharp hobby knife to carefully cut away
the covering just around each hinge slot.
Temporary pin
to keep the hinge
centered.
❏ ❏
9. Fit a CA hinge into each hinge slot in the wing
panel. If the hinges are diffi cult to install, use a hobby
knife to slightly enlarge the slots. Push a pin (T-pins
work well for this) through the middle of each hinge to
keep them centered.
❏ ❏
10. Fit the aileron to the hinges and center it in
the opening. Remove the pins from the hinges and
position the aileron against the TE of the wing panel.
The hinge gap between the aileron and wing should
only be wide enough to allow a small line of light
through. When satisfi ed, apply 6 drops of thin CA glue
to the center of each hinge on both sides. When the
CA has dried, gently pull on the aileron to confi rm that
it is securely glued in place.

11. Repeat steps 1-10 for the left wing panel.
MOUNT THE SERVOS
Cut off
unused arms
Enlarge to
5/64" [2mm]
❏ ❏
1. Cut three arms from a four-armed servo arm
included with the aileron servo. Enlarge the outer hole
of the remaining arm with a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit.
❏ ❏
2. Attach a 12" [305mm] servo extension to the
aileron servo and secure the connector using tape,
heat shrink tubing (not included), or clips specifi cally
made for that purpose (Note: If you plan to connect
the aileron extensions directly to the receiver without
using a Y-harness, you will need servo extensions at
least 16" [406mm] in length). Center the servo with
your radio system and install the servo arm to the
servo perpendicular to the servo case as shown. Be
sure to reinstall the servo arm screw into the servo.
Install the grommets and eyelets that came packaged
with the servo.
❏ ❏
3. Center the aileron servo onto the underside
of the aileron servo hatch cover. The servo arm should
be centered in the opening. Place a 3/4" x 3/4" x 5/16"
[19mm x 19mm x 8mm] hardwood servo mounting
blocks on each side of the servo against the servo
mounting tabs. Use a pencil to mark the positions of
the blocks onto the cover.
