Great Planes Factor 3D

Once all the components are removed from the box and their protective bags, assembly begins with installing a servo in each beautifully covered wing. Thanks to preinstalled strings, the leads of the recommended Futaba S3156 micro servos install with ease and don't require any extensions. The ailerons come pre-hinged, but the control horns have to be attached using two 3/8-inch wood screws for each horn. A small nylon pin gets glued on each wing half just aft of the main spar. Once this is complete, the control rods need to be assembled. The control rods for all of the control surfaces are assembled in the same way. A nylon clevis is threaded on the end which connects to the control horn while the other end gets a 90-degree bend to align with the servo arm. Trim the wire leaving approximately 3/8 inch of rod beyond the bend. Drill a 5/64-inch hole in the servo arm and insert the 90-degree bend, retaining it using a nylon Faslink.
