4. Follow the instructions that came with your

radio system to properly install the rubber
grommets and metal eyelets on your servos. Place
two servos in the servo tray as shown. Position
them so that they are approximately 1/8" [3.2mm]
from the side of the servo tray.

5. Drill a 1/32" [.8mm] pilot hole through the

servo tray at each grommet. Secure the servos to
the servo tray using the screws included with the
radio system.

6. Make a fourth strap, the same way you made

the two battery straps. Route the strap through the
back hole in the battery tray and back through the
middle hole. Plug the two servos and the electronic
speed control into the receiver. Wrap the receiver
in foam rubber and position it on the battery tray,
securing it with the strap. Trim off the excess strap.

7. Trim two servo horns so that one arm remains

as shown. Keep one of the arms that you trimmed off
for an antenna strain relief that will be installed later.

8. Connect the charged motor battery to the

electronic speed control. Switch on the transmitter
and then the electronic speed control. Center the
rudder and elevator trims on your transmitter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid accidents, do not install the
propeller until after all the control checks have
been completed.

9. In both servo arms, install a screw-lock

pushrod connector body in the hole approximately
3/8" [9.5mm] from the center. Press a nylon retainer
on to the pushrod connector to secure it to the servo
arm. Note: The servo arms have been painted white
for better clarity in the instructions.

10. Install the servo arms on the rudder and

elevator servos so that they are perpendicular to
the centerline of the servo. Also use a hobby knife
to trim the outer pushrod tubes approximately 1/8"
[3.2mm] in front of the former.

11. Separate the back plate from one of the

small nylon control horns.

12. Install the z-bend of one of the pushrods in

the outer hole of the control horn.
