PREPARATIONS

❏ 

1. If you have not done so already, remove the major 

parts of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any 
parts are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at 
the address or telephone number listed in the “Kit Inspection” 
section on page 5.

❏ 

2. Remove the tape and separate all the control surfaces. 

Use a covering iron with a covering sock on high heat to 
tighten the covering if necessary. Apply pressure over 
sheeted areas to 

thoroughly

 bond the covering to the wood. 

ASSEMBLE THE WING

CUT OFF UNUSED ARMS

5/64" [2mm]

13/32"

[10.5mm]

❏ 

1. Use your radio system to electronically center the 

aileron servos. Choose the best orientation of the arms on the 
servo outputs shafts so they are parallel with the servo cases. 
Cut three arms from a four-armed servo arm for each aileron 
servo so they match the photo in step 2. Enlarge the second 
inner hole of each remaining arm with a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit.

❏ 

2. Center the servos with your radio system and install 

the servo arms to the servos perpendicular to the servo 

cases as shown. Be sure to reinstall the servo arm screws 
into the servos. Install the rubber grommets and eyelets onto 
the servo mounting tabs.

❏ 

3. Use the strings taped inside the aileron servo openings 

to pull the servo leads through the wing.

❏ 

4. Fit the servos into the servo openings and drill 1/16" 

[1.6mm] holes through the eyelets on the servos into the 
rails. Thread a servo mounting screw (included with the 
servo) into each hole and back it out. Apply a drop of thin 

CA to each hole to harden the surrounding wood. When the 
CA has dried, install the servos into the openings as shown 
using the screws supplied with the servos.
