Wings
Begin construction on the wing by gluing the flap and
aileron hinges into the predrilled holes in the root edge
of the wing. Before gluing, insure that you are able to
achieve necessary throws, there is adequate
separation between flap and aileron, and that the aft
edges align. Use Aeropoxy to provide adequate time
to align and tape the parts in place.
Using a Matchmaker or receiver, center the aileron
servos and attach servo arms in mirroring positions.
Mount the servos to the aluminum L brackets.
Optional: as the brackets may need to be trimmed,
you may choose to substitute carbon fiber pieces for
the aluminum brackets supplied with the kit. These
may be easier to work with.
Remove the servo hatches, marking them for location
and orientation as you do.
Trim and position the wooden mounting blocks into the
servo pockets such that the servo arms are aligned
with the slots for the servo horns. Allow for the offset
of the ball ends. You may need to trim back the
mounting plates pre-installed in the wings to achieve
alignment. The servos are all positioned such that the
servo arm is toward the front of the wing.
When satisfied, put a drop of thick CA on the bottom
of the blocks and position in the wing. When dry,
remove the servos and use Aeropoxy to permanently
affix the blocks. Tie the servo mounting blocks into
the former structure with glue to prevent the upper
wing surface from flexing under load.
