Step 4 – Install aileron linkage
It is very important that the aileron control
linkage be installed at a 90º angle to the
aileron hinge line.
a. Place a servo horn onto the servo output
shaft. The distance between the center
of the servo output shaft and the control
rod will vary depending on your flying
style. For 3D flying, a distance of 25mm
(1in) is required.
b. Using a square, determine the mounting
location of the aileron control horn.
c. Line A must be parallel to line B (hinge
line) to ensure a square installation.

d. Once you have determined where the
aileron control horn must be installed,
use a control horn to mark where the
pilot holes must be drilled.
Note:
The control horn must be at the
very edge of the aileron.

e. Drill the pilot holes and strengthen holes with
thin CA. Once dry, screw the control horn to
the aileron.
f. The control horns supplied with the kit are
infinitely adjustable which allow for maximum
adjustment to your flying style.
g. Adjust the length of the control rod so that
the aileron is at neutral position when the
aileron servo is at neutral,

h. Repeat for the opposite wing.
