When setting up the servo linkage, we recommend using 4-40 rod with a silver solder clevis. It is
very important to have all control linkages 90 degrees to the control surface and servo arm. If more
throw is required then the silver solder clevis will allow, we recommend using a Dubro swivel ball
link at the servo arm for more movement.

It is best to have the linkage as far in on the servo arm as possible and as far away from the control
surface as possible. If you are setting up the plane for 3D style flying. We recommend using larger
after market servo arms. It is important not to be closer then 3/4” from the control surface with your
control horn. If you get to close to the control surface you may develop flutter.
Special note
:
Remember to center all servos prior to connecting linkages to servo. This will eliminate any binding
when the radio is turned on.
6)
Locate the hardwood dowel for the wing retainer bolt, located on the bottom of each wing. Pre drill a
1/8” hole into the center of the dowel for the wing retainer bolt.
7)
Slide aluminum tube through fuse and center in the fuse. Secure tube in fuse so tube cannot move. A
hose clamp works well for this. Slide one wing panel onto tube and push tight against the fuse.
8)
Make sure tube is still centered in fuse.
9)
Drill and tap aluminum tube and dowel for 6-32 bolt.

Slide on second wing panel and repeat process. Make sure wings are tight against fuse.
11)
Leaving the aluminum tube in one wing panel, with wing retainer bolt secured, at all times, will
enable you to always find the tapped hole for the bolt.
