WING ASSEMBLY
►
IMPORTANT! Joining the right and left wing panels is the most critical and difficult part of assembly. We
strongly encourage you to practice the steps below first WITHOUT glue. Once you are comfortable with the
steps, proceed with glue.
Gather items below:

Wing Panels (Right/Left)

Dihedral Braces (Front/Rear)

Wing Center Plate

(2) Control horns

(2) Aileron servos

(2) Aileron servo extensions
 (2) Aileron pushrods

(2) Adjustable clevises with clamping screws
 Masking tape

20mm (3/4”) wide clear, non-yellowing office tape
 Medium instant glue

Paper towel
1. Enhance control response and reduce servo load by making 20mm-long incisions along foam hinges using a
sharp hobby knife. Alternate, leaving approximately 15mm of intact hinge material between incisions
(imagine a dashed line cut pattern as shown below). Make sure to leave 20mm of intact hinge material also
at each end of control surface. Flex foam ailerons 45 degrees in each direction 10-15 times to loosen hinge
action. Feel free to prepare the hinges on Horizontal Stabilizer and Vertical Fin in same manner (set these
aside for later).
