I glued the aileron control horns in place using epoxy, fits perfectly into their slots
so did the rudder control horn and the elevator horn.
then i cut the supplied air scoops, glued them to the sides of the motor box using CA
to improve cooling and airflow to the motor

I decided to use Dubro Mini E/Z Connector instead of using the
supplied z- bends. I enlarged the hole to 2mm, closer to the bottom so I will still have
some thread left for the screws.( Dubro has Lightweight aluminum E/Z connectors
I will change these when they arrive)

Got the ailerons servo installed. Connected the carbon fiber pushrod. Inserted
the z-bend to the horn, and the Mini E/Z Connector to the CF servo arm.
