Radio Installation
Install the aileron servos in the wing
using the hardware that comes with the
radio. The servo should be turned so the
arm is position toward the rear of the wing
and on the outboard side of the servo. Use
the factory installed nylon fishing line to
pull the aileron lead to the hole in the cen-
ter of the wing. You will have to use a y-
connector to tie the two servos together
and a 12” extention to reach the center of
the wing
Align the control horn with the servo arm
and screw in place using the #2x3/4”
screws. The screws go into a plate on the
top side of the aileron. The connection
holes in the control horn for the pushrod
should be aligned over the hinge line.
Locate the 4-40 x 4” pushrods and install
a 4-40 nut on each end. Screw a 4-40 cle-
vis on each end and connect one end to
aileron horn and the other to the servo
arm.
With the servo centered, adjust the link-
age till the aileron is centered. Tighten the
4-40 jam nuts on each end and install the
clevis keeper on each clevis. Don’t forget to
install the servo arm retaining screw. Put a
drop of thread lock on both jam nuts.
Install the elevator and rudder servos in
the tail. The elevator servo goes on top with
the arm turned to the front and down and
the rudder servo goes on the bottom with
the arm turned to the rear and up. You will
need a 24” extension for each servo. Install
the control horns using the #2 x3/4”
screws into the plate on top for the eleva-
tors. Align the holes for the pushrod over
the hinge line and mount as close to the
inboard edge of the elevator as possible.
The rudder is a push-pull set up so the
control horn is a 6-32 x 3” threaded rod
with a washer and nut on each side of the
rudder. Locate the pre-drilled hole in the
rudder for the threaded rod.
