Prepare the Servos

Prepare the Servos for Mounting

  • Using the screwdriver that came with the kit, carefully remove the black screw from the center of each servo horn The horn may be round or X-shaped.
  • SAVE THE SCREWS!!! You will need them again later.
  • Pull each servo horn straight up and off of its servo spline, and set the horns aside.
