Install the rubber grommets and brass eyelets on to the
aileron servos.
Using a modeling knife, remove the covering from over
the pre-cut servo arm exit hole on the aileron servo tray
/ hatch.This hole will allow the servo arm to pass
through when installing the aileron pushrods.
Using the thread as a guide and using masking tape,
tape the servo lead to the end of the thread: carefully
pull the thread out. When you have pulled the servo
lead out, remove the masking tape and the servo lead
from the thread.
