q
Install the 90º bend in the pushrod wire into the hole that you enlarged in
the servo arm, using one snap-keeper.
+
The pushrod wire should be orientated on top of the servo arm.
q
Carefully slide the pushrod wire into the rudder pushrod wire guide tube.
q
Centre the rudder servo and install the servo horn onto the servo, making
sure that the servo horn is centred and points toward the right side of the
fuselage.
q
Install the servo horn retaining screw to secure the servo horn to the servo.
q
Use a couple of pieces of masking tape, taped between the rudder and the
stabiliser, to hold the rudder centred.
q
Thread a clevis onto the pushrod wire, then snap the clevis into the
outermost hole
in the control horn.
q
Remove the masking tape and double-check that both the rudder servo horn and the rudder are still centred. If necessary, thread
the clevis in or out to centre the rudder, then move the rudder right and left several times to ensure proper movement.

Install one control horn onto the bottom of each aileron, using the same
techniques that you used to install the elevator and rudder control horns. The
centreline of each control horn should be 3-1/4" (83mm) out from the inside
edge of the aileron (measured at the hinge line) and the clevis attachment holes
should be lined up over the hinge line. The base of the control horn should be
parallel to the hinge line, too.

q
Install the flap servo into the wing panel, using the same techniques that
you used to install the aileron servo.
+
It's not necessary to install a servo extension onto the flap servo lead.
IMPORTANT
Note the orientation of the servo. Again, the servo output
shaft should be toward the
leading edge
of the wing.
q
Repeat the previous procedures to install both the aileron servo and the flap servo into the second wing panel.
q
Install the aileron servo into the mounting hole, using the mounting screws
provided with your aileron servo. Make sure to drill 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter pilot
holes for the mounting screws.
IMPORTANT
Note the orientation of the servo. The servo output shaft
should be toward the
leading edge
of the wing.

q
Cut away the covering material from over the two wing joiner mounting holes
in the bottom of the left wing panel. The forward mounting hole is located 7"
(178mm) out from the root end of the wing panel and 5" (127mm) in front of
the trailing edge. The rear mounting hole is located 4" (102mm) out from the
root end of the wing panel and 1-5/8" (41mm) in front of the flap hinge line.
q
Carefully slide the two wing panels together and double-check that the wing
panels are lined up at both the leading and trailing edges.
IMPORTANT
The two wing panels are designed to be taken apart for easier transport. Do not glue the two wing panels together! The
two wing panels are secured together using two M3 machine screws, in addition to the wing mounting dowels and the wing mounting
screws that are used to mount the wing to the fuselage.
q
With the two wing panels pushed firmly together, install and
GeNTly
tighten the M3 machine screws and two M3 flat washers into each of the two
mounting holes to lock the wing panels together. The 12mm long machine
screw is installed in the forward mounting hole and the 10mm long machine
screw is installed in the rear mounting hole.
IMPORTANT
Each aluminium spar has a notch milled into it that the machine screws will tighten down into. Even with the machine
screws tightened down, you may be able to pull the wing panels apart very slightly. This is normal and won't be possible when the
wing is mounted to the fuselage.
