7B:
Find the four servo mounts as shown in the bottom of the left photo below. These servo mounts are generic and some adjustment
to the inside area will be needed to achieve a good fit with your servos. Cut or sand 45 degree angles around all five edges of two
mounts making one for the left side and one for the right side wing as shown as the two outer mounts in the upper portion of the
left photo.
The remaining two mounts for the tail servos will require some additional modification as follows. Mark and cut off 0.25” from the
top edge where the servo control horn attaches. On this edge the 45 degree angle will be cut on the backside opposite of the 4
front side edges. These back cut edges will match the 45 degree support when installed on the fuselage. Leave the bottom edge
un beveled as it will be modified when its final location is determined.
Mark the areas that need to be modified for servo fitment by tracing around your servo and cutting this area out with a sharp
hobby knife. Make a 45 degree cut out on both sides of the servo horn travel area. Mark and notch the area for the servo wire to
exit.
7C:
On each wing, locate a point at 6.5” from the 45 degree support / wing joint and 1 3/8” from the wing trailing edge and mark it
there. Use two rulers at 90 degrees to each other to simplify the location of this point. Make another mark at 7.5” from the 45
degree support / wing joint and 1 3/8” from the wing trailing edge. Connect these two points with a line. From the 6.5” x 1.3/8”
point. Make a 1” line extending away from the wing trailing edge at 90 degrees to the line you made at 1 3/8” along the trailing
edge. This will be your visual reference when installing the servo mounts to the wing and represent the servos position.
The last picture shows the installed right wing servo mount. Run a bead of medium RC-Xplanes CA around the surface of the
servo mount that will mate to the wing. Hold the servo mount over your reference marks with the fuselage edge just touching the
wing and the rest off the wing while you align the marks with the inside area of the servo mount. When you have it where you
want it, Press the mount in place. Apply RC-Xplanes CA accelerant to the inside and outside of the mount. Repeat this procedure
for the left wing servo mount.
7D:
Locate the wing trailing edge point on the very bottom of the fuselage by using a square or wide ruler end from the wing bottom
surface. Now make a mark rearward from there at 8 3/8” on the bottom of the fuselage. Dry install the servo mount by lining this
mark up with the forward edge of the servo cutout. Insure the back cut 45 degree at the top of the servo mount is flush against the
45 degree fuselage support. Make a mark on the bottom of the fuselage at the leading edge of the servo mount itself. You may
notice that the servo mount hangs below the fuselage lower edge. Mark the backside of the mount in line with the fuselage
bottom edge. Cut the servo mount at this point as necessary and cut or sand the 45 degree angle into the bottom edge of the
servo mount outer face. Run a bead of medium CA around the surfaces that contact the fuselage and 45 degree support. Line up
your marks and the back cut 45 degree angle and press the servo mount in place. Apply CA accelerant to the mount. Repeat this
for the other side directly opposite this mount.
