When the aileron servo plug appears in the open flap servo bay,
stop and tape the flap servo plug flat against the aileron servo plug.
Then, resume gently pulling both plugs towards the center of the
wing.
You may occasionally feel like the wire has become stuck inside
the wing. This is simply the plug on the end of the servo wire
hitting the side of the holes in the wing ribs. Gently work the string
back and forth from both ends until the plug fits through the hole.
Sometimes the servo plug comes through all the ribs the first time
without getting hung up, and other times it seems like it gets hung
up on every rib. Be patient and don't try to force it. The holes in
the ribs are large enough to get any common servo plug through.
When the servo plugs become visible in the round hole, reach in
with a narrow needle nose pliers or a hemostat and grasp the plugs
and pull them through the hole to the outside of the wing.
Temporarily tape the plugs to the wing surface so they can't fall
back inside the wing. Then, untape the plugs and cut away the
string. Put identification tags on each plug -- FLAP or AILERON --
so you can tell them apart.

3) Attach a 12" long servo extension chord onto the end of
each aileron servo wire. Wrap the connection with a piece of
plastic tape to insure that it won't come unplugged in flight. Install
mounting grommets and eyelets in the servos, according to your
servo manufacturer's instructions.

4) Inside the aileron servo bay opening, you will find a short
length of wood with a string tied to it. The string will be used to pull
the aileron servo wire through the wing panel to the center of the
wing. Gently break the wood piece loose from the wing structure.
Pull it and the string a few inches out of the servo bay opening.
Remove the wood from the string and discard it. Tie the end of the
string securely to the end of the servo wire, as shown.
On the top of each wing panel, just inboard of the center rib, you
will find a round hole in the wing sheeting. This is the exit hole for
the aileron and flap servo wires. Inside this opening, you will see
another small piece of wood with a string tied to it. This is the other
end of the string that you tied to the aileron servo wire. Break the
wood piece loose and begin carefully pulling the string and aileron
chord through the wing towards the center.

AILERON, FLAP, AND RETRACT RADIO EQUIPMENT
AILERONS: Both aileron servos need a 12" extension chord in order to exit at the top center of the wing. A regular Y-harness stays plugged
into the receiver for the ailerons. When the wing is put on the airplane, the extension chords are plugged into the Y-harness.
FLAPS: The wires on your two flap servos will usually be long enough to exit the top of the wing at the center section - no additional chords
should be needed in the wing for the flaps. A reversing Y-harness stays plugged into the receiver for the flaps.
RETRACTS: For the retract servo all that is needed is a 12" servo extension chord that stays plugged into the receiver.
