 1. Remove the servo cover from the wing. You may

need to use a covering iron to reseal the covering

to the wing if the tape lifts the covering.

 2. Prepare the aileron servo by installing the servo

grommets and brass eyelets. Remove the servo

horn from the servo using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

 3. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the

servo mounting holes to harden the surrounding

wood. This will help in preventing the screws from

vibrating loose.

 4. Secure the aileron servo to the servo mount using

the hardware included with the servo. Use a #1

Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws. Note that

the output for the servo is centered in the slot where

the servo arm will protrude through the cover.

 5. Use a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit

to enlarge the hole in the servo horn. Enlarge the

inner hole of the longer arm of a standard servo

arm. This hole is 3/8-inch (10mm) from the center

of the horn as shown. Use side cutters to remove

any unused arms so they don’t interfere with the

operation of the servo.
