2. Scuff the portion of the horn that will glue into the aileron and secure with 30
minute epoxy. Wipe away any excess glue with an alcohol soaked rag. Insert
the ball link between the horns to ensure proper alignment while the glue dries.
3. Inspect the hinges and make sure that each hinge is seated properly. Adjust
any hinge holes that are impeding movement. Remove all of the hinges from
the wing and aileron. Mix a generous batch of 30 minute epoxy. Use a zip tie
or an old pushrod to thoroughly coat and fill the hinge holes in the wing with
epoxy. Coat one side of each hinge with epoxy and insert it into the wing
taking great care to make sure it is centered properly. Wipe away any excess
glue with an alcohol soaked rag or paper towel. Once all hinges are installed in
the wing set it aside to dry.
4. Once dry use the same procedure to fill the hinge holes in the aileron with
epoxy. Coat the protruding hinges with epoxy then slide the aileron into
position. Make sure the aileron is seated properly with minimal gap between
the wing and aileron and wipe away any excess glue with an alcohol soaked
rag. Pay careful attention to wipe any excess glue from the hinge knuckle. Set
the assembly aside to dry. Once dry the aileron movement may feel a bit stiff.
A drop of Acetone placed on the knuckle of each hinge will help to free the
aileron. Then apply a drop of Teflon or silicon lubricant to each hinge and
work it into the joint by moving the aileron back and forth multiple times.
Wipe away any excess lubricant with an alcohol soaked rag. Now is a good
time to seal the hinge line gap with Blenderm tape or Oracover (Ultracote) if
you desire to do so.
