1. If you have not done so already, remove the major parts
of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any parts
are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the
address or telephone number listed in the "Kit Inspection"
section on page 4.

the threads. Once the glue has cured install the servo into the
servo opening. Do not install the brass grommets or rubber
bushings in the servo. Secure the servo to the wing with the
servo mounting screws and
