Test fit your servos in the wing to ensure you
don’t encounter any clearance issues.

Hold the servo mounting posts against your
servos and drill pilot holes in them using the
servo mounting holes as guides for their
location. Use a hand drill to avoid splitting the
wood, and ensure you use a bit slightly smaller
in diameter than your servo mounting screws.
}}}}
Tip: when drilling the pilot holes for the servos
in the mounting posts drill them with the servos
flush to the servo covers. This will allow
maximum clearance for the servos when
mounted inside the thin wing.
}}}}
Tip: when drilling the pilot holes orient the end-
grain of the servo posts so it will be the side
bonded to the servo cover. This will give the
strongest bond as well as a stronger grip for the
screws.

Once the holes have been drilled reinforce them
with a few drops of thin CA adhesive.

Screw the post to the servos using the mounting
screws supplied with your servos.

Use epoxy adhesive to bond the servo mounting
posts to the servo covers.
When bonding the posts, ensure the servo arm
is located in the center of the slot and that there
will be no clearance issues when mounting the
servos to the wing.

Test all new servos before using them in any
project to ensure there are no production
defects; center your servos and attach the
control arms.
