ASSEMBLY MANUAL: Glasair SII / III
3. Next step is to install the aileron to the wing. The hinge points do not bottom out
on the wing side, so it is important that the hinge pocket be wetted out nicely.
Install the hinge points onto the wing side, set the hinge gap to no more than 1 mm
(
1
/
32
”). A good way to do this is by using a thin piece of balsa or thin cardboard as
spacers to set the gap consistently. Use some tape on the aileron to hold the
position, and then try to set the wing up on its trailing edge while the epoxy cures.
That way, any excess epoxy pushed inside the wing should flow back and help lock
the hinge point in place.

Wing Servos
1. Locate the four servo covers and eight mounting
blocks. Note that two of the servo covers have the
pushrod slot offset to one direction and the other
two to the other direction. Rough-up the inside
surface of the servo cover with some sandpaper to
promote better adhesion of the servo mounting
blocks.

2. Position the servo by centering the servo output
arm in the slot then use a spring clamp to hold it in
position. OPTIONAL: put a dab of silicone seal on
the servo before clamping the servo down; it will
help retain the servo but still allow the servos to be
popped off if needed for service. With the servos
clamped in position epoxy the mounting blocks in
close under the servo lugs.

3. After the epoxy cures, drill a 1.5mm (

”) hole
through each grommet and screw the servos to the
mounting blocks.

4. Next step will be to install the servo wire extensions.
Each Flap servo needs a 150mm (6”) extension,
each aileron a 450mm (18”) extension. Because
these will be out of sight inside the wing, it is
prudent to “safety” the connections. Shown here is
a piece of shrink wrap tubing over the connector
