Section 4: Installing the Aileron Servo
and Linkages
Parts Needed
• Wing assembly
• Aileron servo
• Aileron mounting screws (4)
• Aileron control wire (2)
• Nylon clevis w/keeper (2)
• Wire keeper (2)
• Nylon horn bracket (2)
Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Thin CA
• Drill
• Drill Bit: 1/16"
• Small Phillips screwdriver
• Pliers
• Felt-tipped pen
• Ruler
Step 1
Temporarily install the aileron servo into the wing oriented as
shown. Using a felt-tipped pen, mark the location of the servo
mounting screws. Remove the servo from the wing.
Step 2
Using a 1/16" drill bit, drill the four locations marked in the previous
step for the mounting screws. Drill all the way through the servo
tray and wing sheeting. To strengthen the screw holes, place a
drop of thin CA into each hole and allow the CA to dry.
Step 3
Install the aileron servo and secure it to the wing using the
mounting screws provided with your radio system. Use caution
when installing the screws as not to contact the servo wire.
Step 4
Locate the nylon horn brackets and thread them onto the aileron
torque rods until the torque rod just begins to come through the
bracket as shown.
Step 5
Locate the aileron control wires (2) and clevises with keepers (2).
Thread a clevis onto each wire a minimum of 12 turns and connect
the clevises to the aileron horn brackets.
