ASSEMBLE THE WINGS:

 

 

Remove the aileron hatches from the 
bottom of the upper wing panels and 
install a sub-micro servo on the back of 
each hatch using the hardware that 
came with your servos.   

 

Attach an 18 inch extension to the servo 
wire and secure the connection by tying, 
taping, or shrink tube so that it won't 
come apart. 

 

Use your transmitter to center the servo, Use a long servo arm so that the pushrod 
will not hit the wing surface when it travels and BE SURE TO INSTALL THE SCREW 
THAT HOLDS THE ARM TO THE SERVO.   

 

There is a string inside the 
wing that is attached to the 
frame of the servo hatch 
and leads to the wire exit 
hole near the root of the 
wing.  Tie the servo hatch 
end of the string to the end 
of the extension and then 
pull the string and the wire 
through the wing and out 
the hole near the root.   

 

Install the hatch in the wing 
using the M 2x10 self-
tapping screws provided.  Remove and discard the string, then temporarily tape the 
end of the extension to the bottom of the wing.   

 

Install the control horns using the 
M2x18 machine screws provided.  Put 
the Z- bend of the pushrod through 
the outer hole of the servo arm and 
connect the clevis to the horn. 

 

Re-center the aileron servo and then 
slip the aileron pushrod through the 
outer hole in the servo arm. Adjust the 
length of the pushrod by screwing the 
clevis in or out until the aileron trailing 
edge is level with the wing trailing 
edge.  Tighten the locking nut against 
the back of the clevis to lock in the 
adjustment. 

 

Install and adjust the aileron servo, horn and pushrod on the other wing as well.
