Pulsar 4000e Build Detail for Wings and Tail – by Clive Learwood
The following should be read in conjunction with the attached pictures.
The following applies to all servo installations it’s based on building many model types
over a long period of time.
· Proprietary servo mounts are not used, nor are home made ones
· All servo and extension leads have plug / sockets removed. The two cables are then
soldered together and sleeved appropriately. If you insist on plugging leads together
then use one of the special plastic clips available from Ripmax, DO NOT use plastic or
masking tape to hold the two together, it has a habit of coming off and the two items
separating.
Servo installation my method
· Cut off the servo lugs as close the case of the servo as possible.
· Carefully file the remaining rough area as flat and clean as possible
· If the servo has a grommet where it comes through the case, carefully cut as much as
possible away. Care must be taken not to cut or damage the servo leads
· Slip a piece of the appropriate size heat shrink sleeve over the servo body and leave
a small amount of “over hang” top and bottom to enable the sleeve shrink around the
top and bottom when heat is applied.
· Use your head gun to shrink the sleeving reasonably tight around the servo.
· I usually then cut away a small piece of the sleeving where the servo lead is under
the sleeving
· Before you glue the servo in place
.
Do a trial dry fit, with the servo arm in the correct
position, the horn in the correct place and glued in and the push rod connected. I
always then connect the servo (via an extension lead in the wing) to a receiver and
power up TX and Rx. Test that all is OK.
· Gluing the servo in. I always use GOOP (preferably Household Goop, or Pacer Zap
A-Dapa-Goo II if U cannot get GOOP). The advantage of using this method is that
should you have a problem or the servo fails its easy to remove the servo and start
again. You CANNOT do this if you use epoxy.
