2.The covering of the servo location
had been remove as shown.Put the end
of the servo extension in the servo
location.And then pull the extension
lead through to the root of the
wing.Taping servo lead to the inside
of the wing panel will help to
prevent lead from dropping back
inside of wing panel during
transportation．
4.Mount the servo arm and the
extension arm with M2*8mm screws
and locking nuts as shown.Then turn on
the transmitter and plug the servo into
receiver. Ensure the channel is neutral.
Install the servo arm facing toward the
wing tip.Position the servo arm 90
degrees to the servo.
1.Use the provided safety clips to
secure the servo and servo extension
leads.
3.Drill 1mm holes for the servo
mounting screws. Position the servo
with the servo label closest to the wing
trailing edge. Use a drop of thick CA
glue on each screws to prevent tapping
