Required Parts

• Wing panel (

right )

Step 1 

Locate the opening for the aileron servo at the bottom of the 
aileron. Carefully remove the covering from the opening using 
a hobby knife.

left and 

Step 2

Plug a servo extension onto the servo. Tie the servo leads 
together by using a secure connector, or using a ribbon to 
prevent them from coming loose during flight.

Step 3

Tie a weight to a piece of string. A wheel collar works great in 
this application. Tie the other end of the string to the servo 
extension. 

Step 4

Lower the weight into the wing from the aileron servo opening. 
Let the weight drop out through the wing root for the servo. Use
the string to pull the servo lead through the wing.

Step 5

Secure the servo using the hardware provided with the servo. 
Attach the servo arm to the servo. Make sure the servo arm is 
parallel with the hinge line when the servo is at the neutral 
position.

Step 6

Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the remaining wing panel.

Section 1 – Aileron Servo Installation

Step 2 

The vertical and horizontal base lines are pre-marked 
on the firewall. Measure and mark the same distance 
from the lines for the four engine standoff screws. The 
firewall is already mounted correctly to provide right 
offset for the engine when the engine standoff center is 
on the intersection of the above lines.

Step 4 

Install four screws from the back side of the 
firewall. You may apply epoxy glue here.

Step 6 

Install throttle servo with servo arm to the 
provided throttle servo mount. Drill a hole 
in the firewall for the throttle linkage to 
pass. Attach the linkage to the servo arm 
and throttle.

Step 7 

Install the exhaust pipe to the engine.
 

Step 8

Secure the ignition module to the engine box. 
Make the connections between the ignition 
box and engine at this time. 

Step 5 

Install engine using four machined aluminum 
standoffs, screws and lock washers.

Step 3 

Drill the holes in the firewall for mounting the engine.
