Using a pen, carefully mark the locations of the
three cowl mounting screws onto the cowling. One screw
is located on the top, centerline of the cowl. The other
two are located (one on each side) even with the hard-
wood motor mount beams. See photo # 22 below.

☛
Each of the holes should be located 1/16" in front of
the back edge of the cowling. This will position the holes
over the edge of the plywood firewall.
❑
6)
Using a drill with a 1/16" drill bit, drill three holes
through the cowling and into the edge of the firewall at
the marks you drew.
❑
7)
Remove the cowling. Apply a couple of drops
of Kwik Bond Thin C/A into each of the three mounting
holes. Allow the C/A to dry for about 10 minutes.
☛
The C/A will strengthen the wood surrounding the
cowl mounting holes, giving the screws more holding
strength.
❑
8)
Slide the cowling back into place and realign it.
Secure the cowling into place using three 2mm x 6mm
wood screws. Tighten the screws firmly using a # 1 phil-
lips screwdriver.

ALIGNING THE SERVOS
❑
1)
Locate the two servos you intend to use for the
elevator and rudder controls.
❑
2)
Carefully install the rubber grommets and brass
collets onto each of the servo mounting lugs. For proper
vibration reduction, the brass collets should be inserted
into the rubber grommets with the flanges facing the bot-
tom of the servo mounting lugs. See figure # 7 at top
right.

3)
Position the servos into the preinstalled servo
tray, making sure that you run the servo wires below the
tray and toward the front of the fuselage. Pay close atten-
tion to the positions of the servo output shafts. They should
both face the front of the fuselage. See photo # 23 below.

MOUNTING THE SERVOS
❑
4)
Using a drill with a 1/16" drill bit, drill pilot
holes through the servo tray for the servo mounting
screws included with your radio system.
☛
Drilling pilot holes through the servo tray will make
it much easier to install the screws.
❑
5)
Using a # 1 phillips screwdriver, install and
tighten the mounting screws to hold the servos in place.
