Step 1.
Locate the servo openings in the bottom of each of the
wing halves. Use a sharp hobby knife to trim away the covering
over the openings. If you’re building the conventional wing, you
will only cut out the openings that are closest to the wing root
for the aileron servos. If you build the quad flap wing, trim away
the covering on all four servo openings in the wing. Use care
not to cut away too much of the covering.
Step 2.
Install the recommended servo hardware supplied with
your radio system onto your servos, (grommets and eyelets).
Install 12" servo extensions on the flap servo lead and 24"
extensions on the aileron servo leads. Secure the connectors
with either masking tape or a commercial connector that pre-
vents the servo lead connections from becoming disconnected.
Hint:
It’s always a good idea to tape or secure the servo
connectors and servo extension together to prevent the
wires from becoming unplugged inside the wing.
Step 3.
Trial fit the servo into the servo opening. Depending
upon the type of servo installed, some trimming may be
required. Note that the servo is orientated so the servo output
shaft is closer to the trailing edge of the wing.
Step 4.
With the servo in place, mark the location of the servo
screws and then remove the servo.
