You need the aluminum servo brackets, unless they changed the internal wing structure, I'm guessing they forgot to include them in your kit.


This is one of my aileron servos, does your wing have the ply tabs in the servo bays? If so you need the brackets, you could make them, I have many in my parts bin left over from other projects.
No ply tabs in the pockets. Just a typical open bay. The parts list indicates 12 metal brackets, instead I have 12 wood blocks. I'm going to just go ahead and build it like your typical arf with the wood blocks epoxied to the wood hatches.
