term storage. If you prefer to glue to the two center sections together to provide increased structural
integrity, you are welcome to do so.
NOTE: Be sure to glue the joiners into the wing tips. You don’t want anything sticking out of the
center section of the wing with the tips removed. This makes the plane as narrow as possible so that
it fits more easily into a vehicle with the center section of the wing attached. Also, it won’t go together
the other way. If you prefer, you can glue all 4 sections together to make a 1 piece wing. This is how
the original was designed.
1) Install servos as shown. Use 24” servo extensions on ailerons, use 12” servo extensions on
flaps. Use a wire like a coat hanger to pull the servo extensions through the wing. The
extensions come through the top of the wing. There are holes in the sheeting for this already!
2) If you use Y harnesses, be sure that the servos are moving the way you need them to. You will
need the aileron servo arms pointed away from one another and the flap servo arms pointed
the same way. See photo. There are hard points in the control surfaces. You must find them
and use them.
