Rudder servo on mounts.
Rudder servo mounted in radio box.
Radio:
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. 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.
Lay the servo box on its side, opening towards you.
Make a pencil mark ½ inch from the right side,
inside the box. This is where the rudder servo will
mount.
Get a piece of scrap 1/8 wood from the kit, and
place this on the floor of the radio box, where the
rudder servo will be.
With the radio box still on its side, glue the rudder
servo mounts in with CA, aligning to your pencil
mark. Make sure the 1/8 scrap is under the servo,
to space it up from the radio box bottom. Do not
glue any part of the servo to the radio box! Check
the servo wire!
Hold firmly until dry.
Your engine will determine where you mount the
throttle servo.
Mount it the same way as you did the rudder servo.
Drill 3/8 holes where the pushrods will exit.
