BAe Hawk Mk. 51 : 70mm Sport Jet Construction Guide v1.3 Wing Preparation: Servo boxes and wire tunnel (Before gluing the wing halves) As a general rule lay down a layer of masking tape for marking cut lines, locations, etc. This will keep your surfaces cleaner. 1 On the bottom (flat side) of the wing mark the shown dimensions. 167mm (6.57in) is the length measured along the trailing edge of the aileron for cutting. 10mm (0.39in) back from the aileron cut line is the location for the center of the control horn. 65mm (2.56in) is the distance measured perpendicular from the hinge line to the center of the servo arm. *The little squares mean 90 degrees or a perpendicular line 2 Draw your servo box. Box dimensions are 40mm x 40mm. Place your servo on the wing with the servo arm closest to the hinge line and the arm center located at the 65mm mark. The servo body should be point toward the center of the wing. Then draw a box around the servo. 3 Cut out the box with a sharp #11 blade. 4 Route out a servo wire tunnel, using a long drill bit or a long (brass) tube. Tunnel dimensions are not critical as long as they intersect your servo box. Page 14 of 47

This will allow you pull the servo wires once the wing halves are glued. The hole on the left is for my retract air lines. 6 Using fishing line or your choice of strong thread, run a long length through the servo tunnel. It should come through the hole on the top of the wing and out the servo box. Tape it down to make sure it doesn’t move. We’ll use it later to pull the servo leads through the tunnel. 7 Repeat steps 1 to 6 for the other wing half. Page 15 of 47
