4. The top wing ailerons need to be connected to the
receiver. Any number of methods can be used to achieve
this. If you have a favorite method that you are comfortable
with feel free to use that method. The procedure we used for
this airplane was to start with an
Ernst 124 Charge
Receptacle (ERNM3001)
. This unit is made to receive the
charge plug from your radio system so it will require a small
amount of modification for it to work in this application. The
photo above shows the plug-holding unit. For our purposes
here we need to cut this piece 5/16" (8mm) down from the
bottom of the mounting surface as shown in the
photographs above. This will allow the servo plug to fit into
the back of the unit.

5. Using a Hobbico Pro Series 24" Extension (HCAM2200)
insert the female end into the back of the receptacle unit as
shown in the photographs above.
Note
: Depending on where you locate your aileron extension
plug-in receptacle and the location of your receiver, you may be
able to use a shorter extension here. Just make sure it will
reach your receiver. Glue this solidly into place with thin CA
once you have it positioned. This modified unit will now allow
you to plug the Y-harness from your aileron servos into it.

6. The photograph above, looking back from the front of
the airplane, shows the placement of your modified
receptacle. Make sure that you can access the screws and
that it is placed to avoid the spars and formers in this area.
❏
7. The photographs above illustrate the Y-harness
plugged into the receptacle. You can secure and hide the
wire on the cabane with zip ties, Velcro, tape, or just leave it
loose depending on your preference. Use a Y-harness
(FUTM4130) to plug into your receiver. Plug the extension
from your modified receptacle to one side of the Y-harness
and the other side will be available when you attach the
bottom wing and plug the bottom wing aileron servos into it.
If you are using a computer radio system, refer to the manual
that came with your system for other options of setting up the
aileron operations without using the Y-harness.
