Acro Wot - Instructions
STEP 7
Prepare your aileron servos by connecting a suitable 300mm extension lead to
each. It is a good idea to use a lead-lock, a turn of insulation tape or heatshrink
tube over the joint for additional security.
STEP 8
Pilot drill the servo mounts, then screw the aileron servos in position using the
mounting screws, rubber grommets and ferrules supplied with your radio. Note
that the output arms face towards the rear of the wing.
STEP 9
Prepare the aileron pushrods by screwing on a nylon snap link and fuel tube
keeper. Locate the aileron control horns. They are screwed in position on the
ailerons in line with the aileron servo's output
arm. Align the row of holes in the horn
with the hingeline. Mark and pilot drill two
mounting holes then screw the horn to the
aileron. The screws thread into the moulded
horn plate on the top surface of the wing.
STEP 10
Do not overtighten the control horn mounting screws - you don't want to crush
the aileron. Turn the model over and trim off any excess thread using side
cutters. Note that we have fitted short lengths of fuel tube over the clevis to
ensure it cannot open under flight loads.
STEP 11
Use a small length of tape to hold each of the ailerons at their neutral position
while you complete the aileron linkages. Ensure that both aileron servos are
centred. With the pushrod connected to its horn, mark the position the control
rod passes over the servo’s output arm. Bend the pushrod up at 90° at this
point.

STEP 6
Protect the covering with masking tape, then spread sufficient epoxy over the
opposite panel joiner slot, wing joiner and root rib. Bring the two panels together
ensuring the epoxy fills the join. Wipe off any excess that squeezes out of the
joint, then use tape to hold the panels together as the adhesive cures.
