6. Position the servo back between the blocks. Use
a pencil to mark the mounting locations for the
servo screws through the tabs on the servo and
onto the blocks.
7. Remove the servo and use a pin drill and 1/16-
inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill the holes for the servo
mounting screws.
8. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA into each hole to
harden the surrounding wood. This provides a
harder surface, making the screws more secure
when installed.
9. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver and the screws
provided with the servo to secure it to the servo
mounting blocks.
10. Secure a 12-inch (305mm) servo extension
to the lead coming from the servo. Use string,
dental floss or a commercially available connector
to keep the extension and lead from unplugging
accidentally inside the wing.
11. Repeat Steps 3 through 10 to prepare the
second aileron servo.
