 10. Install the hook and loop battery strap on the battery 

tray from the bottom.

INSTALL THE  ELEVATOR 

& RUDDER SERVOS

 1. Use your radio to center your servos. With the servos 

centered, reposition each servo arm so that one of the two 
long arms is perpendicular to the servo case. You will need 
one servo with the arm on the 

left side

 of the case and 

one with the arm on the 

right side

 of the case. Clip off the 

remaining unused arms.

 2. Use a #55 [1.3mm] drill bit and enlarge the servo arm 

holes. If you don’t have a #55 drill bit, use your hobby knife 
to enlarge the holes.

 3. Locate two Screw-Lock pushrod connectors, two 

2-56 x 3/16" screws, and two plastic locking collars. Install 
these on the rudder and elevator servos in the holes shown 
if you are using Futaba micro servos.

 4. Install the rudder and elevator servos as shown with the 

servo leads facing aft. Do not run the leads forward. They will 
interfere with the operation of the motor.

 5. Plug a Y-harness into your receiver in the aileron 

channel. This is Channel 1 on most Futaba radios. Apply a 
1" [25mm] piece of double-sided foam tape to the back side 
of your receiver.

If you are using a 2.4G radio,

you should omit the next step.

 6. Find the antenna support plate beneath the covering. 

Find the pre-drilled hole in the center of the plate and use a 
hobby knife or a T-pin to poke through the covering.
