4. Install the aileron servo into the servo bay using the
hardware supplied by the radio manufacturer. Drill a 1/16"
[1.6mm] pilot hole through each of the servo mounting
holes. This will prevent the hardwood blocks from splitting
when you install the screws.
❏ ❏
5. Temporarily plug your aileron servo into the
receiver. Turn the radio system on and allow the servo to
center itself. With the servo centered install a medium length
servo arm onto the servo so that the arm is on the left side
of the servo as shown in the photograph. (The arm will be on
the right side of the servo for the installation of the servo in
the opposite wing.)
❏ ❏
6. From the inboard end of the aileron measure in 1"
[25mm]. Draw a line on that mark across the aileron as shown.
❏ ❏
7. Locate one of the nylon control horns. Separate
the horn and the screw mounting plate. (You can discard the
screw mounting plate.) Place the control horn on the aileron,
aligning the center of the horn on the line that you have
drawn. Position the horn at the leading edge of the aileron as
shown in the sketch. Trace the outline of the control horn onto
the aileron and mark the location of the mounting holes.
❏ ❏
8. Drill a 1/6" [1.6mm] hole 3/8" [9.5mm] deep on both
of the mounting hole locations. Using a T-pin, poke small
holes through the iron-on covering, piercing the wood under
the covering.

9. IMPORTANT: Do not omit this step! Using thin CA
saturate the small pin holes and the holes you drilled for the
mounting screws. Allow the CA to cure. Install a #2 x 3/8" [#2
x9.5mm] sheet metal screw into each of the mounting holes.
Remove the screw and put a couple of drops of thin CA into
the screw holes and allow the CA to cure.
