to the aileron. This line must be parallel to the top of
the servo.

❏ ❏

6. Install a small nylon control horn onto the aileron.

The horn must be aligned with the line you have drawn.
Install the control horn the same way you installed the other
control horns.

❏ ❏

7. Attach a 12" servo extension to the aileron servo.

Apply tape or a piece of heat shrink tubing to the connection
to be sure that the extension cannot come unplugged from
the servo wire. Remove the tape from the string inside of the
servo bay. Tie the string to the end of the servo extension.
Then pull the servo through the wing from the end of the
string at the center-section in the top of the wing. Leave the
string attached to the servo lead until you have completed
the servo installation instructions.

❏ ❏

8. Locate one of the 2-56 x 6" [152mm] wire pushrods.

Install a nylon clevis and clevis retainer onto the threaded
end of the wire. The clevis should be screwed onto the wire
approximately 25 turns. Snap the clevis onto the control
horn. Be sure the aileron is in the neutral position. Then

make a mark on the pushrod wire at the point that it is over
the hole in the servo horn.

Important: Be sure that the servo

has remained centered as you have handled the servo. If it
has moved, repeat the centering procedure before marking
the wire.

❏ ❏

9. At the mark on the wire make a 90° bend. Cut the

excess wire off 1/2" [13mm] above the bend.

❏ ❏

10. Enlarge the hole in the servo arm to 1/8", slide the

wire into the hole and attach a nylon FasLink.
