HINGING THE AILERON.
The control surfaces, including the ai-
lerons, elevators, and rudder, are pre-
hinged with hinges in stalled, but the
hinges are not glued in place. It is im-
perative that you properly adhere the
hinges in place per the steps that fol-
low using a high-quality thin C/A glue.
Note :
1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
2) Remove each hinge from the wing panel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron
until the T-pin is snug against the aileron.
This will help ensure an equal amount of
hinge is on either side of the hinge line when
the aileron is mounted to the wing panel.
3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is nowcen-
tered on the wing panel and aileron. Remove
the T-pins and snug the aileron against the wing
panel. A gap of 1/64” or less should be main-
tained between the wing panel and aileron.

To avoid scratching your new aer-
oplane we suggest that you cover
your workbench with an old tow-
el. Keep a couple of jars or bowls
handy to hold the small parts after
you openthe bags. Please trial fit
all parts. Make sure you have the
correct parts and that they fit and
are aligned properly before gluing!
This will ensure proper assembly
as the RECREATION 148 is made
from natural materials and minor
adjustments may have to be made.
The paint and plastic parts used in
this kit are fuel proof. However,
they are not tolerant of many harsh
chemicals including the following:
paint thinner, cyano-acrylate glue
accelerator, cyanoacrylate glue de-
bonder and acetone. Do not let
these chemicals come in contact
with the colours on the covering
and the plastic parts.
