Find the 4 pieces of ¼x1-1/2 ply, and
the 4 pieces of tri stock.
These are the servo mounts.
Using CA, glue one piece of tri stock to
each piece of ply.
Make sure the two pieces are flush with
each other by holding them flat against
the bench while the glue dries. Use a
piece of waxed paper or cling wrap on
the bench, so the part doesn’t become a
permanent part of your bench…
When dry, sand each mount smooth
with 80.
Get your servos.
Hold the servo at the end of the mount,
mark the hole locations in the ply.
Be sure to leave a 1/16 gap between the
servo case and the mount. You can use
your 1/16 overlap gauge here.
Drill on the marks with a 1/16 bit.
Repeat for the other side.
Repeat for the other servo.
Assemble the grommets and bushings
on the servos. Note that the brass
bushings go in from the bottom of the
servo.
Screw the servos to the mounts, making
sure the case does not touch the mount.
Lay each mounted servo on the bench.
Check to see that it sits flat on the
mounts. If not, find out why and correct
it.
Cut your 1/16 ply overlap gauge in half
and place this on the floor of the radio
box, where the rudder servo will be.
