2.6 Installing the servos, battery and receiver
Recommend placing the equipment in the manner as
shown in Fig. 2.26 . Minimize nose weight by installing the
gear as far forward as space will permit.
To save space, we recommend trimming the servo mount
tabs so the servos can be pushed together. One can wrap the
servos with masking tape to aid in replacement (JW note, I
find it easier to not do this as the glue pops easily from the
plastic servo case when one needs to replace a servo).
Carefully wrap the servo case with strong thread ( Kevlar or
other CBM ) (Figure 2.27).
Prepare Horns Servo with arm lengths:
The ailerons - 9 -11mm (JW – I use 6-7 mm);
The elevator and rudder - 8 -9mm . (JW – I use 7 mm)
Screw the Horns to the servo.
Secure the battery in place in the nose with adhesive tape.
Secure the receiver in place with double sided adhesive tape.
Horns aileron servos should be further away from the fuselage
body and tail servo horns closer ( Figure 2.26). Place the
