 10. Cut four sides from servo arms left over in the hardware bag. 

Cut them off close to the center so they are as long as possible.

 11. Use a sharp hobby knife to cut a slot in each aileron 

9/16" [14.3mm] long and 5/64" [2mm] wide centered in the 
triangle block, inline with the aileron ribs as shown. Roughen 
the sides of the servo arm pieces with sandpaper and glue 
them into the slots using thick CA. 

Do not get any glue in 

the outer holes of the servo arm pieces!

 The outer holes 

of the servo arm pieces should protrude beyond the trailing 
edge of the ailerons. These will be used to join the top and 
bottom ailerons together.

 12. Center the ailerons and join the top and bottom together 

using adjustable clevises and the remainder of the 2x215mm 
aileron pushrods. Tighten the adjustable clevises with 2x4mm 
self-tapping screws and cut away the excess pushrod.

FINISH THE  MODEL

Install the Landing Gear

 1. Measure and mark 1-11/16" [42mm] from the front and 

5/32" [4mm] from the bottom of the 

wheel pants

. Drill a 1/8" 

[3mm] hole at your marks on one side of each wheel pant 
(be sure to make a left and right pant). Accuracy during this 
step will ensure that your wheels are centered in the pants. 
When drilling the hole, make a pilot hole with a smaller bit 
fi rst, then enlarge the hole to the correct diameter.
