Step 7.
Installing the servos
1. Elevator servos.
Trim away the covering from the rear sides of the fuselage to expose the two servo trays. At-
tach a servo extension to the servo cord long enough to reach the receiver, and tie this servo
connector together with dental floss or whatever you prefer.
Slide the extension through the servo hole and fish the end through the fuse with a piece of
wire with a hook or whatever you want to use. Servos should be secured with all screws.
There are two fuselage formers that have lightening holes in them. If you run the extensions
through these holes it keeps the wires from flopping around in flight.
2.
Aileron servos
.
In the 91” wings there is a servo wire tunnel through the wing that touches the servo tray.
You can use a piece of wire with a hook to fish through the hole and pull the servo pigtail
through. Be sure the extension is long enough to reach the receiver. Also be sure the servo
extension is securely attached to the servo lead. If you bought our hardware kit there are
small plastic retainer clips included for this purpose.
The 85” wings are open bay, simply cut away the covering around the servo tray and install
the servo and extension.
I have found that gluing a servo extension to the side of the
fuse makes a handy place to plug in the aileron on each
side. It must be done where there is an opening in the root
rib. If you prefer, there are two locations provided to mount
an MPI “Double link” but this is simpler and less expensive
when using only 1 wing servo per side.
3.
Rudder servo
.
Do this last, after everything else is done and the plane is otherwise ready to fly.
Balance the plane and determine if weight is needed in the tail.
If tail weight is required, mount one or two servos in the tail below the elevator servos in the
same manner as the elevator servos.
