Great Planes Yak 55 3D FlightFlex EP ARF Part 4

Aileron servo installation

Well the Yak is nearing completion!
Its about time!

First I installed the servo security clips to get the servo leads the needed length to reach the cockpit. Then, following the instructions I threaded the servo leads through the wings with the provided for pull string. Several times on both sides I had to yank a little more than I wanted to to get the lead to feed through the wing cavity.

Also I used Great Planes Small control horns inplace of the provided ones. I just felt the Great Planes were more sturdy and I have used them on other models with no issues.

Now that that is complete the next step will be the elevator and rudder servos
