❑
Using a ruler and a pencil, measure back 1-3/8" from the leading edge of one wing panel (at the root) and draw a mark
on the
bottom
of the wing at this location.
☞
This mark shows the distance the servo's
output shaft
should be located behind the leading edge of the wing.
❑
Place your servo onto the wing and align it. The servo
output shaft should be even with the mark you drew and the
side of the servo should be even with the wing root.
☞
The servo output shaft should be toward the leading edge
of the wing, as shown.
❑
While holding the servo in place, trace around the base
of it using a pencil.
❑
Using a modeling knife, carefully cut a hole in the wing to
accommodate your servo. Don't cut the hole larger than the
outline. The servo needs to fit firmly in the hole.
IMPORTANT
Remove the foam down only to the base of
the top wing skin, being careful not to accidentally cut through
the top of the wing.
Step 2: Cutting Out the Aileron Servo Mounting Holes
Step 3: Installing the Fiberglass Wing Joiner Plates
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to cut out the aileron servo mounting hole in the second wing panel. Again, make
sure to cut the hole in the
bottom
of the wing panel and be careful not to cut through the top of the wing.
❑
Using 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block, carefully sand away the paint from the wing mounting platform on
each side of the fuselage, making sure not to distort the angle.
☞
For the strongest joint possible, it's important to remove any paint from where epoxy will be used.
❑
Using a ruler and a pencil, measure back 3-1/8" from the
front edge of one wing mounting platform and draw a mark.
❑
Using a ruler and a pencil, measure back 1-3/8" from the
first mark you drew and draw a second mark, as shown.
