 4. Using a 1/16" [1.5mm] drill bit, drill a hole through 

the blocks at the locations you just marked. Tap the hole by 
screwing the servo mounting screws that came with your 
servo into the holes and then removing them. Harden the 
threads in the block by adding two drops of thin CA glue into 
each hole. Set the blocks aside and allow the CA glue time 
to cure. Using the hardware supplied with the servo, mount 
the servo to the blocks.

 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other aileron servo and 

mounting blocks.

 

 6. Mix together a small amount of 6 minute epoxy. 

Place some of the epoxy on the wood blocks, being careful 
not to get any epoxy on the servo. Place the hatch on a level 
surface and place the blocks and servo on the hatch. Make 
certain that the servo arm sits in the center of the opening 
in the hatch. Use weight or a clamp to hold the blocks to the 
hatch while the epoxy cures. Repeat this step for the other 
aileron servo and hatch.

 

 7. Using the radio and receiver, center the servo and 

attach the control horn as shown. If any other arms are 
present on the servo, remove them with a rotary tool or a 
pair of diagonal pliers. Enlarge the last hole on the servo arm 
using a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit.

 

 8. Mount the servo hatch to the wing using the #2 x 3/8" 

[10mm] sheet metal screws and #2 washers.

 

 9. Hold a straight edge fl ush with the servo arm and 

mark a straight line on the aileron. This is the mounting 
location of the aileron control horn.

MOUNT THE HORN ALL THE WAY FORWARD

 

 10. Place the aileron control horn on the aileron, centering 

it on the mark you made in step 15. Use a T-pin to mark the 
center of the holes. Use a 1/16" [1.5mm] drill bit to drill into 
the aileron at the markings you just made, being careful not 
to drill all the way through the aileron. Remove the mark you 
made on the aileron using some denatured alcohol.

 

 11. Use two #2 x 3/8" [10mm] sheet metal screws to 

attach the control horn to the aileron. Remove the control 
horn and place 2 drops of thin CA in each hole. Wipe any 
excess CA from the aileron. Allow the glue to dry and reattach 
the control horn to the aileron.
