2. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a servo mounting screw into
the mounting holes for the steering servo. Remove the screw after cutting
the threads in the plywood. The opening for the steering servo is the
center opening in the forward servo tray.
NOTE:
The 2 extra servo holes on each side of the nose gear servo hole
are not used and are just there if needed.

3. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the holes. This will harden the
threads made by the screws making them more secure when the steering
servo is installed.
 4. Prepare the steering servo by installing the rubber grommets and
brass eyelets as shown in the radio or servo instructions. Center the
steering servo using the radio system. Use side cutters to remove any
arms from the horn that may interfere with the operation of the servo.
Do not secure the horn to the servo, as it will need to be removed when
adjusting the steering linkage.
E-tips
The steering linkage will be connected to the hole in the servo that is
3/8-inch (10mm) from the center of the arm as illustrated in the photo
above.

5. Install the steering servo in the fuselage using the hardware
provided with the servo and a #1 Phillips screwdriver. The servo output
faces the rear of the fuselage.
 6. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to trim a 1/4-inch (6mm) piece
from the silicone tubing.
E-tips
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners to prevent them from
vibrating loose.

7. Slide the piece of silicone tubing on one of the metal clevises.
Assemble the steering linkage by threading a 2mm nut and metal clevis
on either end of the 2

-inch (57mm) threaded rod as shown. Thread the
clevis without the tubing so the threads are barely visible between the
forks of the clevis, then use pliers to tighten the nut against the clevis to
keep the clevis from moving.
