After the rudder’s pull-pull cables are installed, slide the rudder 

servo’s tray to adjust the tension on the rudder’s pull-pull cables and 

secure the rudder servo tray with wood screws.

WARPABLE WINGS & SIMULATED UNDER-WING TRUSSES 

1.

 

Center your metal gear wing-warping servos and install a long servo 
arm on each servo. (NOTE: We recommend the optional metal arms 

shown at 

http://www.maxfordusa.com/metalservoarm.aspx

.) 

 

 
 

 
 

2.

 

Per #12 on page 2, test-fit and mount the 
servos with the servo arms centered in the 

hatch cover openings. 

3.

 

Connect a 12-inch extension to each wing-
warping servo. (NOTE: As mentioned on 

page 2 in #9, optional Maxford USA servo-
extension safety clips are recommended.) 

4.

 

Guide the extensions’ servo-like connectors 
from each servo bay out through the root 

rib of each wing panel as detailed in #13 on 
page 3. 

5.

 

Secure the hatches to the servo bays with 
wood screws. 

6.

 

Check the blind-nut mounting assemblies inside the fuselage. 
Add more glue if necessary.  

7.

 

Test-fit a kingpost into each wing panel.  

IMPORTANT: Align the bushed openings with the  

cable that will connect the wing-warping servos to the  

preattached cables at the wing tips.

 

8.

 

Glue the kingposts into their wing panels. 

(NOTE: Be careful that no glue accidentally  
blocks the bushed openings in each kingpost.) 

9.

 

As done on the horizontal stabilizer, secure the  

knots at the ends of the wing-warping cables on  
both sides of the wing panels with glue. 

10.

 

Center the wing rod in the fuselage and slide  
the wing panels onto the wing rod.  

Guide the wing-warping servo leads  
into the fuselage and slide the mounting  

tabs into their slots. 

11.

 

Use the supplied machine screws to attach the wing  

panels to the fuselage. Snug the machine screws into the  
preinstalled blind nuts. 

  NOTE: 1) After the pull-pull cables are installed, reposition the 
    clevises on the threaded rods attached to the servo arms if 

    necessary to adjust the cable tension.  2) Apply a light lubricating 
    oil or grease where each cable passes through its plastic grommet.   

    3) Check all control cables and plastic grommets before and after 

    every flight.
