Wings
The ailerons are pre hinged and glued to the wing. Firmly
tug at each hinge point to ensure hinges are installed
properly. It’s better to find a loose hinge now
rather than
during a flight.
Carefully locate the aileron servo pocket. (Shining a light
through opposite side of the wing may help highlight the
pocket location.) Use a new hobby knife blade to cut
though the covering. Cut from the corners of the pocket
towards the center of the pocket so the covering can be
folded in.
Gently snap off the servo wire installation string and
temporarily secure it out of the way. Do not pull it out of
the wing.
Use a trim iron to seal the bottom surface of the wing
around the servo pocket. Fold the cut covering under the
wing sheeting and attach it to the inside edge of the
pocket.
Carefully locate the aileron control horn slots. Use a
covering sealing iron to bond the covering in the area the
control horn will sit. Trim the covering away to expose
the slots.
Be careful you don’t
cut through to the top side
covering.
Use the control horns from the “Wings” part bag.
Test fit
the control horn in the slot. Trim or file the slot as
needed to achieve a snug fit. Make sure the shoulder of
the control horn is fully seated down against the control
surface.
Check the alignment of the control horn to the hinge
center line. The linkage hole in the control horn should
be aligned with the hinge centerline.
