6. Remove the fl at nylon mounting
plate from the clevis. The fl at plate can
be discarded.

7. Using a felt tip marker, draw a line from the servo
arm to the aileron.

8. Place the nylon control horn onto the aileron in line
with the line you drew and using the sketch to properly place
the hinge. Be sure the control horn is placed over the shaped
hardwood. (Look closely and this will be visible under the
covering).
❏ ❏
9. Mark the location of the mounting holes onto the
aileron. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole on the marks, drilling through
the plywood plate but
not through the top of the aileron.
Install and then remove a #2
3/8" screw into each of the
holes you have drilled. Apply a drop of thin CA into the holes
to harden the threads. Once the glue has cured secure the
control horn to the aileron with the screws.
❏ ❏
10. Thread a nylon clevis, 20 turns, onto a 6
"
[152 mm]
wire pushrod. Slide a silicone clevis retainer over the clevis.
Attach the clevis in the outer hole of a nylon control horn.
❏ ❏
11. With the aileron servo and the aileron centered, mark
the aileron pushrod where it crosses the aileron servo arm.
Make a 90° bend at the mark. Cut the pushrod 3/8" [9.5 mm]
past the bend. Drill a 5/64" [2 mm] hole in the outer hole of
the control arm of the servo. This should be the hole that is
approximately 5/8" [16 mm] from the center of the servo. Attach
the pushrod to the aileron servo arm with a nylon Faslink.

12. Repeat steps 1-11 for the left wing panel.
❏ ❏
13. Included with the kit are two 1/8"
7/8" [3mm
22 mm] smooth nylon pins. (There is another ribbed nylon
pin in the kit. Do not confuse the two.) Epoxy a pin into the
root rib of each of the wing panels. When you install the pin
it will stop when fully inserted in the hole. Approximately 3/8"
[10 mm] of the pin will extend outside of the root rib.
