WING ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
AILERON INSTALLATION
1.
Collect the following parts:
(1)
Left wing
(1)
Right wing
(1)
Left aileron
(1)
Right aileron
(8)
CA hinge
1.
Locate the pre-cut aileron hinge slots in both
wing halves. Using a hobby knife (#11
blade), slide the blade into each slot to make
sure it is cleanly cut.
Repeat this process with the ailerons, mak-
ing sure all hinge slots are clean.
2.
Place a straight pin into the center of each of
the four CA hinges.
Slide each hinge into the hinge slots on one
of the wing halves. The pin will prevent the
hinges from going in further than halfway into
the wing.
3.
Select the aileron for the wing on which you
are working and insert the exposed half of
each hinge into the aileron slots.
Slide the aileron toward the wing until no gap
remains between the aileron and the wing.
4.
Carefully check the alignment of the aileron.
There should be about 1/32" on both ends.
When satisfied with the alignment, remove
the straight pins, being sure to keep the
aileron tight to the wing. You may wish to
apply a few pieces of masking tape to keep
the pieces in place.
5.
Keeping the aileron and wing in position, flex
the aileron to it full deflection and apply 3 or
4 drops of thin CA to the small exposed area
of each hinge.
Turn the assembly over and again apply 3 or
4 drops of thin CA to the exposed hinge sur-
faces.
Allow to dry for 10 minutes before flexing the
aileron.
6.
Repeat the above steps for the other half of
the wing.
