A. All servos (except throttle) mount using #0038 M2.5x10 Phillips machine screws and #0560-8 M2.5 flat
washers into threaded steel inserts (factory installed) in the side frames. The throttle servo will use two
#0560-1 Aluminum Spacers under the servo mounting ears with four #0039 M2.5x12 Phillips machine Screws
and four #0560-8 M2.5 washers. All servos mount to the outside
surface of the side frames with the exception
of the uppermost servo, which mounts to the inside
of the right main frame. Each should be installed with
Blue Loctite. The bolt spacing for each servo has been selected to allow the installation of all popular servos
with minor deflection of the servo=s rubber grommets and bushings. For example, 4000 series J.R. servos will
show the bushings (within the grommets) slightly shifted away from servo case, 8000 series J.R. servos will be
similar but less and 9000 series Futaba servos will show the bushing shifted slightly inward towards the case.
