oo Step 1
Use painter's tape to tape a piece of plastic or waxed
paper over the opening for the servo hatch.
oo Step 2
Apply a bead of silicone sealer around the edge of the
servo hatch. Tape the hatch tightly against the float. The
silicone will create a gasket that will seal the opening after
the servo has been installed.
o Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the remaining float. Since the
silicone will take overnight to dry, it is a good idea to have
them both drying to speed assembly the next day.
oo Step 4
Once the silicone has had time to dry, use a hobby knife
to trim any that extends outside the hatch.
 Step 5
Repeat Steps 1 thorugh 4 to create a silicone seal for the
weight access hatch for both the left and right float.
