Mounting the steering servo is done in the same
fashion as all other servo. Start by placing the
servo in position and drilling pilot holes for the
mounting screws. Remove the servo and
reinforce the wood with some thin CA adhesive.
Mount the servo to the steering mount using the
screws supplied with the servo.
}}}}
Once the servo is mounted install a linkage
stopper on the servo arm so it faces the bottom
of the servo. Put a drop of thick CA adhesive on
the nut to ensure it doesn’t come loose; take
care not to bond the linkage stopper to the
servo arm. Center the servo using your radio
and install the servo arm on the servo using the
supplied screw.
