Connect the appropriate extension leads to the aileron servo cables. Secure each
connection with a drop of cyano or a piece of heat-shrink sleeve.
Cut down the servo output levers as shown in the photo. Centre the servos from the
transmitter, then press the output arms onto the servo output shafts.
Drill 1.5 mm Ø pilot-holes in the wings for the servo retaining screws, using the
servos themselves as templates. Allow the aileron servo leads to fall through the
openings in the ribs until they exit the root ribs.
Mark a centreline on the control surface hinges using a pencil.
The hinges can now be slid into the control surfaces as far as the pencil marks, and
glued in place with a few drops of thin cyano. The best method is to push the hinges
into the slots in the control surfaces to a depth of about 1 mm, apply two drops of
cyano to both
sides of each hinge, then push them in as far as the pencil line.
Allow the glue to set hard, then push the aileron hinges into the wing to a depth of
about 1 mm.
Apply cyano to both sides of the hinges as before, then push the ailerons against the
wings, leaving a gap about 0.5 mm wide along the hinge axis. Repeat the procedure
with the tailplane / elevators and fin / rudder.
Allow the glue to set hard, then attach the horns to the control surfaces. You will
need to drill 6 mm Ø holes in them at the marked points to accept the horn sockets.
Remove the covering film over the area of the aluminium horn sockets. Fill the holes
with glue and press the aluminium sockets into place; wipe off excess glue where it is
squeezed out of the holes.
The rudder horn consists of two M3 screws which have to be angled forward as
shown in the photo.
Screw the horn lugs onto the M3 screws of the elevator and aileron horns, and
position the linkage holes at a point about 19 mm from the top surface of the control
surface.
Snip off excess screw length using side-cutters, and file the ends back flush with the
horn lugs.
The control surface pushrods can now be made up.
Measure the distance from the linkage hole in the servo output arm to the linkage
point of the horn lug, and cut suitable lengths from the M3 studding (threaded rod)
supplied. Fit locknuts on the pushrods followed by clevises. Connect the clevises to
