2. Slide four hinges into the slits in the aileron. Center
the slot in the hinge with the hole drilled in Step 1.
Place a T-pin in each hinge to prevent it from being
pushed into the wing when installing the aileron.
Note
: Do not use CA accelerator during the
hinging process. The CA must be allowed to
soak into the hinge to provide the best bond.
Using accelerator will not provide enough time
for this process.

1. Locate the positions for the hinges. Drill a 1/16"
(2mm) hole in the center of each slot of both the wing
and aileron. This creates a tunnel for the CA, allowing
the CA to penetrate into the hinge better, bonding the
hinges more securely.
