Step 11: Aileron Servos
•
Remove the aileron servo covers. Mark the inside front of the covers so you will know how to
orient them for reassembly.
•
Attach the aluminium L brackets to the servos as you did for the tail surfaces. The servos will
face in opposite directions and the servo spindle is positioned toward the front of the wing.
•
Using your receiver or JR Matchmaker, power box or the like, find servo neutral and attach
the heavy-duty servo arms to obtain matching positions. If you are using a double-sided
arm, you may find that rotating the arm 180 degrees achieves a better match, so complete
this step before trimming off the unused side of the arm.
•
Temporarily fit the ailerons to the wing if not already completed at the factory. Note the
wire that runs through the hinging is or a screw type at the wing root. A small flat screw
drive and do this then fingers.
•
Position the servos onto the mounting tabs, paying attention to the position of arm relative
to the control horn slot marked on the control surface. Using great care not to pierce
through the top of the wing, drill and bolt the servos in place (photo 10).

•
You will need to use an extension on the aileron servo lead.
•
Make sure to tape or heat shrink the connection.
•
Trim the servo covers for the servo arms and reinstall.
•
Repeat for the other wing.
Step 12: Ailerons
•
Measure the throws for ailerons. Make sure you can achieve 30 mm in either direction on
the ailerons. Carefully trim away the gap cover if needed to get the appropriate travel.
Also make sure there is no binding at the ailerons.
•
With a small carbide cutter, route out the slots for the control horns.
•
Rough up the mounting surface of the control horn, tape around the slot and glue the horn
into each control surface with Aeropoxy or Hysol.
