Cut the slot for the horn. Power tools are a little dangerous here, as if they slip. you can drill all
the way through to the other side of the surface. Use an exacto and many small strokes, only
resort to the Dremel if you run into a really hard portion. You do not want the slot to be a super
tight fit on the horn, you want room for glue in there, but nor do you want huge gaps.
If you wait until all the horns on all the surfaces are done, you can glue them all at once, which
will save you glue, glue tips, and time. So hold off for now on gluing.
Place a wing on your towel to install the servos for the flaps and ailerons.
Fit the supplied aluminum mounts to the servo, using the supplied screws. Do not over tighten
and strip the screws. The screws appear to be smaller than the hole and strip easily. You may
need to get new screws if they strip. Do not use any grommets or other servo hardware.
As any play could cause flutter. Secure the screws with the medium strength blue thread
locktite.
Drill pilot holes in the wooden mounts and secure the servo with the kit-provided screws.
Do not over tighten and strip the screw holes. You may wish to strengthen the wooden threads by
unscrewing the screws and then putting a drop of thin CA in the holes then let it dry before you
screw the servos back in.
