Install the Ruddervator Servos
❏
1. If using the recommended servos that come with
side tabs, carefully remove the tabs as follows:
❏
A. First, use a razor saw to score or cut most of the
way through the tabs—of course, use extreme care not
to cut into the servo wires where they exit the case!
❏
B. Then, break off the tabs with pliers.
❏
C. Use a stick with sandpaper to remove any
remaining tab material and smooth the edges.
❏
2. If necessary, enlarge the openings in the servo trays
to fi t your servos, then test-fi t the servos—if the cutouts
do require cutting, remove material from the
aft
end of the
openings.
❏
3. Cut the included
3mm lite-ply strip into
segments and glue
them to the bottom
of the servo trays for
screw doublers.
❏
4. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes for the servo mounting
screws, temporarily mount the servos, remove the screws,
and add a few drops of thin CA to the screw holes. We’ll
remount the servos into the tray later.
❏
5. Test-fi t, then securely glue the servo trays into the
fuselage.
