6. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the holes.
This will harden the threads made by the screws
making them more secure when the steering servo
is installed.
7. Test fit the servo into the mounting blocks. Due
to factory tolerances in may be necessary to shim
the servo for a snug fit. If needed use tape on the
sides and ends of the servo to make sure that it fits
snugly in the blocks.
7. Place the rudder servo extension into the
fuselage. The rudder servo can then be fit into the
fuselage and slid into the rudder servo mounts.
The servo is a tight fit, so work slowly when
positioning the servo. Secure the rudder servo in
the fuselage using the strap and screws removed
in the previous step. Tighten the screws using a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
8. Route the rudder servo lead through the fuselage
and formers as shown. It will run through both
formers and then come out over the top of the
intakes into the front cockpit area.
9. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to trim two
1/4-inch (6mm) pieces from the silicone tubing.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
10. Slide the piece of silicone tubing on each of
the metal clevises. Assemble the steering linkage by
threading a 2mm nut and metal clevis on either end
of the 2
