Cut away the covering material from over the elevator servo mounting
hole in the left side of the fuselage and from over the rudder servo mounting
hole in the top of the fuselage.
❑
Plug one 12" long servo extension onto both your elevator and rudder servos.
❑
Position and mark the mounting hole locations for the control horn on the
bottom
of the elevator. When aligned properly, the centerline of the control
horn should be 3/4" (19mm) out from the side of the fuselage and the clevis
attachment holes should be lined up over the hinge line. The base of the
control horn should be parallel to the hinge line, too, so that the control horn
will line up with the pushrod wire.
❑
Drill 5/64" (2mm) diameter pilot holes through the elevator for the control
horn mounting screws, then apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the pilot
holes and allow the C/A to fully cure.
☞
The C/A will harden the surrounding balsa, making the mounting area
stronger.

IMPORTANT
If you mount your receiver near the back of the wing saddle, 12” long servo extensions will be long enough. If you
mount your receiver farther forward, you may need to use longer servo extensions.
❑
Install the elevator and rudder servos into the mounting holes, making
sure to drill 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter pilot holes for the mounting screws. Both
servo output shafts should be toward the front of the fuselage.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the height of your elevator servo, you may
need to cut away the covering material from the right side of the fuselage
to allow the bottom of the servo to stick out beyond the fuselage side.
