5. Bend the wire on the pushrods to give clearance between the clevises and
EPO. Remove EPO with a hobby knife if there are clearance issues. Bending
the wire for the drooperons is worthwhile even if there are no clearance issues,
as the bend provides some protection for the servo from drooperon impacts.
6. Twist the plastic clevises so that the elevon and drooperon are approximately
in their neutral positions (0° for level flight). Once the wing is joined with the pod,
you will be able to do this more precisely by aligning the control surfaces with the
pod’s continuation of these surfaces.
7.
Using your transmitter, check the deflection of the control surfaces. Typical
pitch inputs should only be ±15°, and roll deflections of ±30°. The drooperon
should deflect approximately the same angle (but opposite direction) as the
elevon. If this isn’t the case, use different holes on the servo arm or control
horns.
