Wings
Carefully locate the aileron servo pocket. Shining a light
through opposite side of the wing will help highlight the
pocket location. Use a new hobby knife blade to cut
though the covering.
Gently pull off the servo wire installation string and
temporarily secure it out of the way. Do not pull it out of
the wing. (If there is glue left behind scrape it off so the
wood mounting surface is flat.)
Carefully locate the aileron control horn slots. Use a
covering iron to bond the covering in the area the control
horn will sit. Trim the covering away to expose the slots.
Be sure not to cut through to the top side covering.
The hinges should already be glued into the ailerons.
Give each of them a little pull to ensure they are securely
attached.
It’s better to find a loose hinge now rather
than during a flight.
The wings are already slotted for the hinges. Use a
covering iron to secure the covering along the edge of the
wings. Look at the wing hinge slots closely. Make sure
the covering will not interfere when gluing the hinges.
Cut away any covering that covers the hinge slot.
Slip each of the aileron hinges into the wing. Align the
end of the aileron to the wing tip.
Apply a piece of tape next to each hinge. This will help
you locate the hinges when you begin gluing them.
Check the aileron position at the hinges and wing tip
again before gluing.
