Refer to this photo while mounting the servos.

3. Test fit the rudder, elevator and throttle servos in the
1/8" plywood servo tray. Make modifications to the tray if
necessary to fit the servos.
❏
4. Place the servos in the tray. Mount them with the
hardware provided with the radio system. Center the servos
and position the servo arms as shown in the photo at step
#3. Center the elevator and rudder. Bend the elevator and
rudder pushrods over the holes in the servo arms. Cut the
wires so they can be connected to the servos with a nylon
Faslink as shown in the sketch.
❏
5. Attach the throttle to the servo using the brass screw
lock connector, nylon retainer and 4-40 set screw. Turn
your radio system on. Push the throttle stick to full open. Be
sure the carburetor is also fully opened. Tighten the set
screw onto the throttle wire.
❏
6. Wrap the battery pack and receiver in at least 1/4" of
R/C foam rubber and install them in the fuselage. Securely
hold the battery pack and receiver in position with a balsa
stick glued between the fuse sides (not shown). Simply
stuffing the receiver and battery pack in place with additional
foam rubber is not a secure method of holding them in place.
❏
7. If you did not previously install a Y-harness to the
ailerons, connect a Y-harness (HCAM2500 for Futaba J) to the
aileron servo wires in the wing. Secure the connections with
heat shrink tubing, tape or clips intended for that purpose.
❏
8. Mount the receiver on/off switch. A Great Planes
Switch & Charge Jack Mounting Set (GPMM1000, not
included) was used on this model. Be certain it is in a
location away from engine exhaust.
❏
9. Make certain all the servo arms are secured to the
servos with the screws that came with them and that all the
clevises have retainers on them.
❏
10. Uncoil the receiver antenna and guide it out of the
fuselage and connect it to the fin. We drilled a 7/32" [5.6mm]
