Use 5-minute epoxy and a pair of
hardwood blocks to mount an aileron
servo to each aileron servo
hatchplate with its output shaft
positioned furthest away from the
aileron’s hinge line. (Hint: Predrill
the hardwood blocks to fit your
servo’s mounting pattern.) Using the
servo manufacturer’s hardware,
attach a servo arm to each aileron
servo and an aileron servo to each
servo mounting hatchplate’s mounting blocks, then attach each servo and backplate
the provided screws.

Prepare the 4 wing struts for installation: Test fit a strut mounting tab at each
of all four struts; drill a set of holes through both ends of each strut and its
mounting tab; secure each tab to its strut with
wire anchor as shown at the right.

Test fit the wing struts into the openings in the top of the bottom wing
shorter struts belong at the front (nearest the leading edge);
in the rear (nearest the trailing edge).

Slide the upper wing’s spar midway through the
upper wing’s center section, then position the
left and right upper wing panels onto the upp
wing’s spar. As the upper wing panels near the
upper wing’s center section, carefully align the
upper wing panel’s dowel pins with the match
ing openings in the upper wing’s center section.
41.
Carefully guide the wing struts into their
openings in the bottom of both left and right
panels of the top wing. Use 5-minute epoxy to
secure all four wing struts and tabs into their
openings in both the top and bottom wing
panels. While this epoxy is fresh, firmly press
the left and right pairs of top and bottom wing
panels together, secure each pair of wing panels
with masking tape, and set the fuselage with its
wing panel assemblies aside until the epoxy
