10)
Using a modeling knife, carefully cut out the
back of the fairing on each of the two molded plastic servo
covers. See photo # 5 below.
❑
11)
Working with one servo cover for now, place
one servo onto the bottom of the servo cover. To align the
servo properly, the servo arm should be centered inside
the molded fairing and it should face the back of the servo
cover. The center of the servo horn should be 1" in front
of the back edge of the cover.
❑
12) While holding the servo in place, temporarily
place two of the hardwood mounting blocks behind the
servo mounting tabs. See photo # 6 below.
☛
You will need to cut a notch in one of the hardwood
blocks to allow the servo wire to fit behind the block.
When installing the blocks, make sure the wood grain runs
parallel to the servo cover.
❑
13) Using a pencil, carefully outline the locations
of the two hardwood blocks and the servo onto the servo
cover.
❑
14) Remove the parts from the servo cover. Using
220 grit sandpaper, carefully sand the servo cover where
the two hardwood blocks will be glued into place.
☛
Do not omit this step. The plastic must be scuffed-up
so that the epoxy will adhere properly to it.
❑
15) Mix a small amount of Kwik Bond 5 Minute
Epoxy. Apply a layer of epoxy to the bottom of the hard-
wood blocks and glue them into place on the servo cover.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
❑
16) After the epoxy has fully cured, place the servo
back onto the servo cover. Using a pencil, mark the loca-
tions of the servo mounting holes onto the mounting
blocks.
❑
17) Remove the servo. Using a drill with a 1/16"
drill bit, drill pilot holes through the two mounting blocks.
☛
Drilling pilot holes through the mounting blocks will
keep the blocks from splitting when the servo mounting
screws are installed.
❑
18) Install the servo using the rubber grommets,
brass collets and wood screws provided with the servo.
❑
19) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut the two
mounting blocks down flush with the side of the servo.
See photo # 7 below.
☛
You have to cut the mounting blocks shorter so they
don't hit the wing sheeting when the servo cover is in-
stalled in the wing.
❑
20) Repeat steps # 11 through # 19 to install the
second aileron servo onto the remaining servo cover.
INSTALLING THE SERVO COVERS
❑
21) Working with one wing panel for now, use a
modeling knife and remove the covering from over the
precut servo lead exit hole and the precut servo bay. The
servo lead exit hole is located at the root of the wing, 3-1/2"
behind the leading edge. The servo bay is located 22" out
from the wing root and 4" behind the leading edge.
❑
22) Look carefully in the servo bay. You will see
one end of a piece of string glued to the wing sheeting.
This string runs from the servo bay, through the wing and
out the servo lead exit hole. Carefully tie the end of the
string to the end of the servo extension lead, just behind
the plug.
❑
23) Grasp the string from within the servo exit hole
and gently pull the string until the extension lead comes
out of the hole. Remove the string from the plug.
