Extreme Flight 60

 
 

Let's begin! 

 

1.

 

Locate the 2 wing panels as well as the composite aileron control horns and base 

plates.  Use a soldering iron or sharp hobby blade to remove the covering over the 
slot for the aileron horn. Make sure you are doing this on the bottom of the aileron!

 

       

 

 

2.

 

Insert the horn into the base plate and into the slot in the aileron. Use a fine 
tipped felt marker to trace the base plate.
