Insert hinge into the flap. Wipe 
with 

denatured 

alcohol 

(methylated  spirits)  to  clean 
away  any  excess  glue  and 
ensure the hinge moves freely.  

 

 

 

 

With  all  hinges  glued  into  the 
flap  surface,  repeat  the  hinge 
gluing  steps  for  the  other  side 
and  insert  the  flap  into  the 
wing. 

Note: 

Before  the  glue  is  fully 

cured, test that the flap moves 
freely. If needed, wipe a drop of 
denatured  alcohol  onto  each 
hinge to free it up.  

 

Next  are  the  control  surface 
horns found in the “Main Wing” 
bag. 

 

 

 

 

 

Using some coarse sandpaper 
(100-150 grit is ideal), rough up 
the surface of the tabs on the 
control horns (the part of the 
horn that inserts into the wing). 
This will provide better 
adhesion for the glue.
