PREPARATIONS

 1. If you have not done so already, remove the major parts 

of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any parts 
are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the 
address or telephone number listed in the “Kit Inspection” 
section on page 7.

 2. Carefully remove the tape and separate all the 

components. Use a covering iron with a covering sock on 
medium/high heat to tighten the covering if necessary. 
Apply pressure over sheeted areas to thoroughly bond the 
covering to the wood. 

BUILD THE WING  PANELS

Install the Aileron & Flap Servos & Pushrods

Before completing this section, confi rm that the servos 
that you will be using will properly fi t  between  the  servo 
mounting block
 locations on the aileron and fl ap  servo 
hatch covers
. Make adjustments as necessary for your 
brand of servos. The block locations shown in this section 
will fi t a standard size Futaba brand servo.

❏ ❏ 

1. Trim the covering from the servo arm cutouts in the 

aileron and fl ap (if you will have operational fl aps) servo hatch 
covers. Use epoxy to glue the 3/4" x 3/4" x 5/16" [19 x 19 x 8mm] 
hardwood servo mounting blocks to the inside of the aileron 
and fl ap hatch covers. Be sure that the blocks are aligned 

over the rectangles with the grain direction perpendicular to 
the covers. Allow the epoxy to cure undisturbed.

❏ ❏ 

2. Cut three arms from a four-armed servo arm for the 

aileron servo. Enlarge the outer hole of the remaining arm 
with a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit.

❏ ❏ 

3. Attach a 9" [229mm] servo extension to the aileron 

servo and secure the connector using tape or heat shrink 
tubing (not included). Center the servo with your radio 
system and install the servo arm to the servo perpendicular 
to the servo case as shown. Be sure to reinstall the servo 
arm screw into the servo.

❏ ❏ 

4. Position the servo against the underside of the aileron 

servo hatch cover between the mounting blocks. Shim the 
aileron servo away from the hatch cover approximately 3/64" 
[1.2mm] to isolate it from vibration (a business card folded in 
thirds works well for this). Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through 
the mounting tabs on the servo case into the blocks. Thread a 
servo mounting screw (included with the servo) into each hole 
and back it out. Apply a drop of thin CA to each hole to harden 
the wood. When the CA has dried, install the servo onto the 
hatch cover using the hardware supplied with the servo.
