SERVO INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE SERVO TRAY
q
{1} Servo Tray
q
{1} Servo Tray Support
q
1) Test fit the servo tray and the servo tray sup-
port into the fuselage. The support is installed into
the two precut notches in the bottom of the fuselage
sides. The servo tray fits into the corresponding
notches in the support and the rear bulkhead. See
photo # 17 below.

It may be necessary to sand the edges of the
servo tray and/or servo tray support to obtain a
good fit. If so, use 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding
block. Remove small amounts at a time until a good
fit is obtained.
q
2) When satisfied with the fit, remove the tray
and the support. Mix Kwik Bond 5 Minute Epoxy.
Apply a generous amount of epoxy to the gluing sur-
faces of the support and the tray. Reinstall the parts
and allow the epoxy to fully cure.
INSTALLING THE SERVOS
q
3) Install the rubber grommets and brass collets
provided with your radio system onto two standard
servos. See figure # 8 below.

4) Test fit the two servos into the servo tray. The
output shaft in each of the servos should face the
front of the airplane. The servos should be centered
within the mount and as close together as possible.
See photo # 18 at top right.

Because the size of servos differ, you may need
to adjust the size of the precut opening in the
servo tray to fit your servos. If so, carefully use a
modeling knife.
q
5) Install the two servos using the wood screws
provided with your radio system. Drill 1/16” pilot
holes through the servo tray before installing the
screws. This will help prevent the wood from split-
ting and make it easier to install the screws.

q
{1} 8mm x 20mm Clear Tubing
q
{2} Metal Clevises
q
{2} Nylon Control Horns w/ Backplates

{4} 2mm x 15mm Machine Screws
q
{2} Adjustable Servo Connector Assemblies
q
{1} Hex Wrench

1) Using a modeling knife, remove the cover-
ing from over the precut elevator pushrod exit slot in
the fuselage. The slot is located on the left side of the
fuselage (looking from the rear), 6-1/2” in front of
the elevator hinge line and 3/4” down from the top of
the fuselage. The slot is 3/4” long and 1/8” wide.
q
2) Test fit the nylon pushrod housings into the
fuselage. Insert one housing through the rudder push-
rod exit slot and one housing through the elevator
pushrod exit slot.
q
3) Slide the two pushrod housings through the
fuselage and into the servo compartment. Using 220
grit sandpaper, lightly sand the last 1” of each of the
pushrod housings that extends beyond the outside
of the fuselage.
