Fuselage Assembly

 

 

Step 5 – Prepare the servo cutouts 

 

The first step in assembling the fuselage is to 
prepare the servo cutouts.  The MAXAIR Velox 
RII was designed to allow for multiple servo 
configurations.  Pull-pull hardware is included 
with the kit, but if required, the rudder servo can 
be installed in the tail. 
 

a.  Cut the covering off of the left side 

elevator servo cutout.  Don’t forget to 
leave a 3mm (1/8) wide strip around the 
inside of the cutout that you will iron 
down to the sides of the cutouts. 
The cutout can be found using the 
dimension in the image below.

b.  Repeat with the right side servo cutout 

using the dimensions in the image 
below.

If you opt to put the rudder servo in the tail, the 
rudder servo cutout can be found on the left side 
of the fuselage below and behind the elevator 
servo cutout as seen in the picture below.   
The pull-pull wire exit is also shown in the picture 
below.

Do not remove covering from all servo cutouts 

and exit holes.  Only remove the covering from the 
servo cutouts and exit holes required.
