Step 1
Locate the items necessary to install the aileron servo
in the wing.
Step 2
Install the grommets and brass eyelets in the servo. Place the
servo in the wing with the servo output shaft to the trailing
edge of the wing. Use a pencil to transfer the positions for the
servo mounting screws onto the servo mount.
Step 3
Remove the servo from the wing. Use a drill and 5/64-inch
(2mm) drill bit to drill the four holes to mount the servo.
hint
: Place the drill bit in the drill as far as possible to
avoid accidentally drilling through the top of the wing.
Step 4
Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the holes to harden the
surrounding wood. This will make the screws more secure
and less likely to vibrate loose.
