This part of installation will require us to first hinge the aileron, then install the aileron control
horns.
Familiarize yourself with all the steps BEFORE proceeding.
1. Locate ten (10) CA hinges and draw a center line length wise
on each as shown.
2. There are five (5) CA hinges per aileron and slots have all
been precut in the leading edge of the aileron and the trailing
edge of the wing.
3. Starting first with elevator install all five hinges up to the center
line. Glue them in place with thin CA. Do not use CA Kicker
for this part of installation.
4. Line up aileron and wing and slide CA hinges into the trailing
edge of the wing. Make sure that is no hinge gap between
them. Pivot aileron to make sure there is no hindrance in
movement. When satisfied attach aileron and wing together
with thin CA.
5. Refer to the photo on the right, locate two (2)
13mm x 2mm
slots covered under the purple Ultracote. These are the slots
for the aileron control horn assembly.
6. Use a Xacto blade to puncture the covering material and
expose the slots. Slit the covering to the length of the slot.
7. Now use your Xactor blade and cut into the balsa core to
deepen the slot. Your goal is to create a
deep slot that position control horn’s
pivot hole 1.0” below the elevator hinge
line.
Remember to maintain the cut
perpendicular to the rudder surface.
Complete one horn at a time.
SHORTEN EFP HORN ACCORDINGLY
8. Trial fit both control horns into the slots
for fitment. Enlarge width of the slot (not
length) if needed. Align horns to match
illustration on the right. Do not tag glue
them at this time.
