5. Use the strings in the wings to pull the servo wires out
while placing the servos into the openings. With the servos
in position, drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes into the wing for all the
servo mounting screws. Temporarily mount the servos with
the servo mounting screws that came with your servos.
❏
6. Remove the servo mounting screws and take the servos
out of the openings. Add a few drops of thin CA to each screw
hole to harden the “threads.” After the CA has hardened
reinstall all the screws to securely mount the servos.
❏
1. Cut twelve 1" x 1" [25 x 25mm] CA hinges from the 2"
x 9" [50 x 230mm] CA hinge strip. Cut the corners off so the
hinges go in easier.
❏
2. Stick a T-pin through the middle of all the hinges. Insert
six hinges into the hinge slots of both wings.
❏
3. Join the flaps and ailerons to the wings with the hinges.
Make sure there is a small gap between the leading edge of
the flaps and ailerons and the trailing edge of the wings–just
enough to see light through or to slip a piece of paper through.
Take out the T-pins, then apply at least eight drops of thin CA
to both sides of all the hinges on both wings. Allow enough
time between each drop of CA so the hinge can absorb it
instead of running into the hinge gap. CA applicator tips are
highly recommended here so the amount and location of the
CA can be controlled.
❏
4. After the CA has hardened for a few minutes, pull hard
on the flaps and ailerons to make sure they are secure. Add
more CA to any hinges that aren’t securely glued.
If you’re building your Giant Big Stik ARF with flaps
hook up the servos this way.
