4. Insert the servo into the opening as shown. Drill a
1/16" [1.6mm] hole through each of the servo mounting holes
and into the servo mounting rails. Insert and remove a servo
mounting screw into each of the holes. Apply a couple drops
of thin CA into the holes to harden the threads. Once the
glue has cured re-install the servo mounting screws.
(
Note:
Futaba mounting screws will work following our instruction.
If you are using a different brand servo, check the screw
diameter to be sure a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole will work.)
Using
the servo hardware, enlarge the third hole in your servo arm
with a 1/16" [1.6mm] drill.

5. Make a mark aligned with the hole in the servo arm
onto the aileron. Position the control horn on the mark. Then
drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through each of the mounting
holes in the control horn and through the aileron. Secure the
control horn to the aileron with two 2 x 10mm [3/8"] screws
and the nylon control horn plate. Screw a nylon clevis onto
the threaded wire 20 turns. Slide a nylon clevis retainer onto
the clevis. Install the clevis into the second hole from the
end of the control horn. Then slide the silicone retainer over
the clevis. Center the servo and position the servo arm as
shown, and then center the aileron. With a fi ne tip marker,
mark the wire where it aligns with the outer hole of the servo
arm. Make a 90 degree bend on the mark. Cut the wire so the
wire is 3/8” [10mm] in length after the bend. Insert the wire
into the servo arm and lock it in place with a nylon Faslink.

6. Locate one of the pre-assembled motor mount
assemblies. Remove any mounting hardware that may
have come with your motor. Mount the motor to the motor
mount with three 3mm screws (the screws that came with
your motor may not be long enough to allow for the use of a
washer and lock washer. If the screw head is fairly large you
may not need a washer. If you wish to use washers you will
need to purchase 3 x 6mm [1/4"] screws, 3mm washers and
lock washers.
IMPORTANT! If you use screws longer than
6mm [1/4"] they could extend into the motor armature.
Be sure the screws do not do this or you run the risk of
damage to the motors.
To provide clearance for the motor
wires, orient the motor on the mount so the motor wires are
in line with the oval opening on the mounting ring.
Apply a
drop of thread locker onto each of the mounting screws.
Check all of the socket head cap screws used on the motor
mount assembly for tightness. If you fi nd any of them are
loose, remove the screw, apply a drop of thread locker to the
threads and re-tighten the screws.
