Step 1
Install the recommended servo hardware (grommets and
eyelets) supplied with your radio system onto four servos
(elevator (2), rudder and throttle). Temporarily install the
four servos into the openings and mark the location of the
servo mounting screws.
Step 2
Remove the servos and drill the holes for the servo
mounting screws using a 1/16" drill bit.
Note: Place a drop of thin CA onto each
screw hole to harden the wood around the
hole. Allow the CA to fully cure before
installing the servos.
Step 3
Install the servos as shown. The output shaft of the
throttle servos faces rearward, while the remaining servos
will face forward. Secure the servos using the screws
provided with the servos.
Step 4
Mount the radio switch in the side of the fuselage. Glue
small scraps of plywood to the balsa sheeting inside the
fuselage to give the screws something to bite into.
