  Aileron Servos and Ailerons

 – 

a.

 

Test fit your aileron servos and prepare the aileron 
servo mounts by using epoxy to attach two servo-
mounting pedestals to each servo hatch cover. 

b.

 

Test-fit the ailerons to their wing panels, control 
horns and pushrods. (NOTE: If necessary, you 
may reposition the aileron control horns to fit your 
servos; you might need to slice through any Mylar 
covering the precut CA-hinge slots.) 

c.

 

Use the predrilled holes in each aileron and CA adhesive to attach a control horn to each aileron. Center 
the CA hinges in their slots and use thin CA adhesive to attach the ailerons to their wing panels. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

d.

 

Mount the aileron servos to the servo hatch covers. 
Attach a 12-inch servo extension to each servo. 
(NOTE: We recommend you also install optional 
Maxford USA servo extension safety clips.)  

e.

 

Install a servo and attached extension in each wing 
panel by pulling the aileron extensions out through 
the root ribs. Guide the right extension out the hole 
in the top of the right wing panel. Secure the 
aileron servo hatch covers to the wing with 5/16-
inch wood screws. 

f.

 

Use the Z-bend in the pushrods and supplied EZ 
Connectors to attach the aileron pushrods between 
the aileron control horns and aileron servos. 

7. 

Wing and Mains Gear

 – 

a.

 

Insert the wing rod half way into either wing 
panel. Slide the remaining wing panel onto the 
wing rod until the root ribs are 2 to 3 inches apart. 

b.

 

Guide the left aileron’s lead into the root rib of the 
right wing panel and pull it out through the hole in 
the top of the right wing panel.
