Throttle servo in place.
Note that the servo location allows access to the
two mounting screws in the floor.
Hitec 805’s and a standard servo in place.
Glue in the throttle servo, aligning it to your line and
centering it in the box.
Attach the rudder servos to their mounts as follows:
Assemble the servo arms and tie bar for a 3-1/2
inch center to center length for the pushrods.
Put the servos in place in the rails, and power them
up with the transmitter and receiver. Make sure
your steering trim is centered.
Put the servo arms on the servos and center them
on the rails.
Mark the holes and drill for the servo screws.
Once all the servos are fitted, remove everything
from the box.
Go over all the joints of the servo rails with a small
fillet of medium CA and accelerator.
Glue the radio box top onto the radio box. This is
the 1/8 ply top without the lid.
Using 80 grit, sand the entire box.
Carefully remove the lid from the 1/8 ply radio box
top.
Sand the edges smooth.
Glue the 1/8 ply top to the radio box.
It has a slightly larger hole for the lid, so try to
center it so that the “lip” is even all around.
Make sure that you don’t get any glue in the “lip”, as
it will interfere with the way the lid seats.
