Step 1.
Locate the servo openings in the bottom of each of the
wing halves. Use a sharp hobby knife to trim away the covering
over the openings.
Step 2.
Install the recommended servo hardware supplied with
your radio system onto your servos (grommets and eyelets).
Install a servo extension lead to the servo as well. Secure the
connectors with by tying them in a knot and use electrical tape
to secure in place and prevent opening in flight.
Hint:
It is always a good idea to secure the servo
connectors and servo extension together to prevent the
wires from becoming unplugged inside the wing.
Step 3.
Trial fit the servo into the servo opening. Some
trimming may be required, depending on the type of servo
installed.
Note:
We have orientated the servo so the servo arm is
closer to the trailing edge of the wing.
Step 4.
With the servo in place, mark the location of the servo
screws that are used to mount the servo to the plywood rail
inside the servo opening in each wing half.
