3/ 32” Hole.

 

4 ) Install the rubber grommets and brass

collets onto the elevator, rudder and throttle
servos.  Test fit the servos into the preinstalled
servo tray. Because the size of servos dif-
fer, you may need to adjust the size of the
precut openings in the tray.

 

5) Position the servos into the servo tray

with the output shafts orientated as shown
below.  Drill 1/16” pilot holes through the tray
for each of the mounting screws.

Some switches come with a hole drilled
through the switch tab for this very pur-

pose.  If your switch does not, remove the
switch and drill a 3/32” hole through the middle
of the switch tab.

 

2) Using a 3/32” drill bit, drill a hole through

the side of the fuselage, opposite the muffler,
even with the switch.

 

3) Make a push-pull lever out of scrap wire.

Attach the wire to the switch lever and route
the wire out the side of the fuselage, through
the hole you drilled.

INSTALLING THE FUSELAGE SERVOS.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH.

 

1) Install the switch into the precut hole in

the servo tray, in the fuselage, from the bot-
tom.  Use the two screws provided with the
switch to secure it in place.  Drill two 3/32”
holes through the tray for the screws to pass
through.

 

1) Carefully remove the elevator from one

of the horizontal stabilizer panels. Note the
position of the hinges.

 

2) Remove each hinge from the horizontal

stabilizer panel and elevator and place a T-pin
in the center of each hinge. Slide each hinge
into the elevator until the T-pin is snug against
the elevator. This will help ensure an equal
amount of hinge is on either side of the hinge
line when the elevator is mounted to the
horizontal stabilizer panel.

Rudder.

Switch.

HINGING THE  ELEVATORS.

 

3) Slide the elevator on the horizontal

stabilizer panel until there is only a slight gap.
The hinge is now centered on the horizontal
stabilizer panel and elevator. Remove the T-
pins and snug the elevator against the
horizontal stabilizer panel. A gap of 1/64” or
less should be maintained between the
horizontal stabilizer panel and elevator.
