SAFETy PRECAUTIONS
This is a sophisticated hobby Product and not a toy.
It must be operated with caution and common sense
and requires some basic mechanical ability. Failure to
operate this Product in a safe and responsible manner
could result in injury or damage to the Product or
other property. This Product is not intended for use by
children without direct adult supervision. The Product
manual contains instructions for safety, operation and
maintenance. It is essential to read and follow all
the instructions and warnings in the manual, prior to
assembly, setup or use, in order to operate correctly
and avoid damage or injury.
During the course of building your F-86 Sabre we
suggest you use a soft base for the building surface.
Such things as a foam stand, large piece of bedding
foam or a thick bath towel will work well and help
protect the model from damage during assembly.

The wood servo cover will not be used when installing
the recommended E-flite S75 servo for the ailerons. If
you install a smaller servo, you may choose to use the
plywood cover rather than the molded plastic cover.
1. Remove the wood servo cover from the wing. Set
the cover aside.
2. Relocate the string from the aileron opening so
it is near one of the corners. This allows full access
to the opening and prevents accidentally gluing the
string into the wing.
DO NOT remove the string from the wing. The
string will be used to pull the aileron servo
lead through the wing later in this section.
3. Measure and mark the opening for the aileron
servo 3/4-inch (19mm) from the edge closest to
the wing root as shown. The edge of the aileron
servo mount will align with these marks when it is
installed. Center the mount fore/aft in the opening
for the aileron servo.
