Default RE: EDF Predator UCAV from Nitro Planes

The assembly begins by securing the ailerons to the wing halves with thin CA. The servos are then either glued to the bay covers or screwed to the supplied blocks that are glued to the covers. I glued my servos to the covers with CA.

I had two Hitec HS-322HD servos and two HS-81 mini servos available so I decided to use the heavier (and larger) 1.5oz HS-322 servos for the aileron control since it was near the CG. The lighter 0.6oz HS-81 servos will be used in the back for elevator control.

All the hardware was supplied in the kit including the nut and keepers for added security. A string was installed inside the wing to help pull the servo wire through to the end.
