Elevator Servo Installation 

 
1.  The elevators have been pre-hinged and glued to 

the stabs and are ready for flight.  No other steps 
are necessary for hinging.   

 

Note:  

Use

 

clear covering for sealing the hinge 

 

gaps. This is an optional step but is             

 recommended 

 

Gather the stab and elevator, elevator servo, and 

24” servo extension as shown below. 

STAB AND ELEVATOR ASSEMBLY

 

2.  Attach the 24” extension to the servo lead and 

secure with safety wire, string, tape, or other 
method.  Ensure the plugs will not come apart 
from vibration or light tension.  

 

Note: 

180 in. oz. digital, metal geared servos are 

recommended. Servo selection can be the differ-
ence between a great flying model and a model 
that will crash. Always use brand name high 
quality servos. 

3.  Layout the servo on the fuse to test fit the instal-

lation and ensure servo lead is the correct length.  

4.  Feed servo extension through the elevator servo 

mounting hole in fuse. Place servo into mount-
ing hole in fuse with servo output shaft facing 
toward the rear as shown. Mark and drill loca-
tion of servo mounting holes. 

Safety Clips
