Step #3 Drilling the Servo Horns
Item Qty Description
(B) (2) Servo Horns
Use Fig #6 as a guide. The Servo Horns (B) need to have
one of the outside holes enlarged. If you do not have a
7/64” drill bit you can enlarge the hole with a hobby knife.
When using a knife, carve from each side to keep the hole
even. Make the hole a little smaller than the screw so that
threads will be made when the screw goes in. Compare
your work to Fig #7 then proceed to Step #4.

Item
Qty Description
(B) (2) Servo Horns
(E) (4) Nylon Washers
(F) (2) 3 mm (1/8″) Nylon Spacer
(G) (4) Push Arms
(J) (2) M3x18 Phillips Pan Head Screws
(N) (2) Nylon Insert Locknuts
(Q) (2) Plastic Screw Covers
Use Fig #8 as a guide to each assembly of the Middle Legs.
Insert screw (J) through screw cover (Q). Next insert screw
through hole of Push Arm (G). Add a washer (E), another Push
Arm (G), then another Nylon Washer (E). Insert the screw
through the hole of the Middle Leg (O), then add the Nylon
Spacer (F). Screw into the large hole on Servo Horn (B). The
Screw will make its own threads going into the Servo horn.
Tighten until all parts can still rotate freely but are not sloppy.
Next screw Locknut (N) onto Screw (J) until snug against the
Servo Horn (See Fig #9). Before continuing, position the pieces
exactly as they appear in Fig #9. Double check your work then
proceed to Step #5.
