• Assembled wing
• Standard servos with mounting hardware (2)
(4 for quad/flap configuration)
Note:
The flap servo must be reversed if using a
Y-harness for flaps
• Servo extension -12" (2) (4 for quad-flap configuration wing)
• Hobby knife
• Medium Phillips screwdriver
• Drill
• Drill Bit: 1/16"
• Masking tape
• Pencil
• String with weight on end
• Needle-nose pliers
Step 1.
Locate the servo openings in the bottom of the wing.
Use a sharp hobby knife to trim away the covering over the
openings. If building the conventional wing, you will only cut
out the openings that are closest to the wing root for the aileron
servos. If you build the quad flap wing, trim away the covering
on all four servo openings in the wing. Use care not to cut away
too much of the covering.
Step 2.
Install the recommended servo hardware supplied with
your radio system onto your servos (grommets and eyelets).
Install a servo extension lead to the servo as well. Secure the
connectors with either masking tape or a commercial
connector that prevents the servo lead connections from
becoming disconnected.
Hint:
It’s always a good idea to secure the servo connectors
and servo extension together to prevent the wires from
becoming unplugged inside the wing. Tape works well
for this.
Step 3.
Trial fit the servo into the servo opening. Depending
upon the type of servo installed, some trimming may be
required. Note that the servo is orientated so the servo arm is
closer to the trailing edge of the wing.
Step 4.
With the servo in place, mark the location of the servo
screws and then remove the servo.
Step 5.
Using a 1/16" drill bit, drill the servo screw locations
marked in Step 4.
Step 6.
Repeat the procedure for the other servo(s). Proceed to
Step 7 before permantly securing the servos in the wing.
