rails and make some shims from leftover ply. Tack glue the
servo tray rails in place again and check the fit of the servo
tray. When satisfied with the fit, use 6-minute epoxy to glue
the rails permanently in place.
❏
8. Mount the servo to the 5/16" x 3/4" x 7/8" [8 x 19 x
22.2mm] basswood blocks, using the hardware supplied
with the servo. Make sure the servo is oriented as shown in
the photo with the servo arm pointing as shown. The edge
of the block should extend past the rear side of the servo
slightly. See the photo at step 10.
❏
9. Position the servo tray as shown and mark the location
of the mounting rails.
❏
10. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the basswood blocks to
the servo tray, with the servo attached. The servo should be
centered between the lines marking the location of the rails.
After the epoxy has cured, install the tray into the opening
in the float and make sure it fits properly.
