 3. Remove the servo and use a pin vise with a 1/16-

inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill the holes for the servo 

mounting screws.

 4. Thread a servo mounting screw in each of the holes 

using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Remove the screw, then 

apply 2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to harden the 

surrounding wood.

 5. Use the radio system to center the servo. This is done 

by setting the throws to 0% in both directions. Install the 

servo horn perpendicular to the servo. Use a pin vise and 

5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to enlarge a hole in the arm that 

is 5/16 inch (8mm) from the center of the horn. Use side 

cutters to remove any arms that may interfere with the 

operation of the servo.

 6. Secure the retract servo using the servo mounting 

screws and a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Note that the servo 

output faces away from the valve mount. Attach the retract 

valve to the retract servo tray. Attach 4-inch (101mm) air 

lines to the retract valve.

 7. Assemble a linkage (not included) to operate the 

retract valve. Adjust the linkage so the valve is centered 

when the servo is centered.

 8. Use the end points of the radio to set the throw of the 

servo to operate the retract valve. Increase the throw from 

0% (as set in step 5) in 1% increments to prevent damage 

to the retract tray, servo or retract valve. Set both the up and 

down throws at this time.
