2.

 

Center the CA hinges in their slots. Attach the ailerons to the wing panels with thin CA adhesive. 

3.

 

Using your radio or a servo tester, center the 

aileron servos. Test-fit your aileron servos and 
the two wooden servo mounting pedestals to 

each servo-hatch cover. 

4.

 

Use epoxy to attach the pedestals to the servo 
hatch covers. Use the hardware provided with 

your servos to mount the aileron servos on the 
pedestals. 

5.

 

Locate the servo bays in the bottoms of the upper 

wing panels. If necessary, cut and remove the 
Mylar covering the servo hatches. As shown at 

the right, use pliers to break loose and lift out any 
transport bracing material inside the servo 

hatches, if necessary. Test-fit the servo-hatch 

covers with their servo-arm slots toward the 
wingtips and toward the leading edges. 

6.

 

Attach a 12-inch extension to each aileron servo.  
(NOTE: We recommend using optional Maxford USA servo-extension  

safety clips to secure all servo/extension/Y-cable connections.) 

7.

 

Use a length of coat hanger or heavier wire to guide the aileron exten- 
sions from each servo bay out through the root rib of each wing panel. 

8.

 

Secure the aileron servo hatch covers to the wing panels with 

5/16

-inch 

wood screws. 

9.

 

Test-fit the aileron control horns directly behind and in line with your  
aileron-servo’s output arms. 

10.

 

Attach the aileron control horns to the ailerons as pictured below. 

11.

 

Hold the ailerons aligned with their wing panels with masking tape. 

12.

 

Attach the aileron  
pushrods between  

the aileron control  
horns and aileron  

servos with the  
supplied pushrods. 

13.

 

Remove the masking tape from  

the ailerons and wing panels. 
 

 
 

 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 

14.

 

If you wish to use the lower wing’s ailerons, repeat steps 1 through 13 for the lower wing, 
substituting ‘lower’ for ‘upper’ as required. 

 
(NOTE: Each of the LOWER wing panels has 2 small pieces of wood under the Mylar  

     for attachment of wing skids at 

1/2

-inch and 5 

1/2

-inches behind the leading edge  

     and at approx. 23 

5/8

-inches from their root ribs.)
