If you decide to use single servo, glue servo in, and after that glue top of fuselage as shown.

Cut holle for aileron horn as shown. Try to do it exactly same on both ailerons. Next picture show 
aileron servo arm , Take original servo arm and put it on servo trim and sub trim on your radio must 
be 0. When you make such setup on your radio, glue fiberglass servo arm to plastic servo arm, 
now you have perfect center and dont lose resolution when you try to achieve maximal equal 
deflection  to both sides. Next to the servo arm you can see Z bend, this is part included in kit and it 
work just fine for regular use. On my competition planes i try to have perfect setup in each detail. 
To achieve control linkage without slope (play), i use tiny ball links from Trex-250 helicopter. I learn 
this trick from top USA pilot and builder Devin McGrath. Ball links are not included in kit, so if you 
want this upgrade you can purchase it by yourself. I buy mine from Horizon Hobby.

 

H e r e   y o u   c a n   s e e  
pushrod  connected  to 
servo arm. It is ready for 
final  adjustment  and 
attachment  to  aileron 
control  horn.  This  is 
difficult  part  because 
there  is  no  god  way  to 
adjust lenght of pushrod, 
so  you  have  to  measure 
few times to be sure it will 
be right size.

I use top holle on servo horn and on servo arm i use second from side.
