Figure 8. Fix the servo frames in the wings: First, wrap each servo with saran wrap (upper left). Next, briefly
sand servo bays and bottom of servo frames and push each (saran wrapped) servo into its respective servo
frame (upper right). Now mix the endfest epoxy, add some cotton flakes (or microballoons) for
thixotrophing it and smear it into the fine sanded servo bays and onto the bottom of the servo frames. Bring
the frames with the servos into the marked position in the wings (lower left). A nice trick for tight
attachment of the frames is to put water filled plastic bags on top of them (lower right). This ensures even
weight distribution and is simple. Putting metal weights on top of servos however, is good too.
As soon as the servo frames are fixed in the respective wing servo bays you can mount the linkage
systems for flaps and ails. Be aware that the flaps will need about 80˚ negative throw and only a little
positive throw; while the ails need roughly the same positve- and negative- deflections. Figure 9 will
describe how to achieve these settings.
