10. Tie the string attached to the aileron servo lead
to the flap servo lead at this time.
11. Use the string to pull the flap and aileron leads
through the hole near the wing root as shown. Do
not remove the string in case the leads fall into the
wing while adjusting the flap linkage.
12. Insert the Z-bend in the 3-inch (76mm)
linkage wire through the hole in the servo horn
enlarged in Step 4.
If using a radio with only two flap positions
(up and down), following this procedure will
provide equal throw in both directions.
13. Place the servo and servo cover in position on
the wing. With the radio on and the flap switch
(or knob) centered, adjust the linkage so the flap
servo is in the center position. Measure the distance
between the flap and wing. Adjust the linkage so
the distance measures 3/4-inch (19mm). You may
need to remove the servo once or twice to set the
correct length on the linkage.
14. Move the flap cover aside. Use 2–3 drops of
thin CA in each of the holes for the flap servo cover
mounting screws. This will harden the surrounding
wood, which helps prevent the screws from
breaking the wood and vibrating loose.
