Section 1: Hinging the Ailerons
Note:
The hinges supplied with your Alpha™ Trainer ARF
are constructed of a special material that allows the thin
CA to “wick” or penetrate and distribute throughout the
hinge, securely bonding them to the wood structure. It is
important that you properly secure the hinges in place per
these instructions using high-quality thin CA glue.
Step 5
Once the epoxy has cured, check the aileron for freedom of
movement. Fully defect the aileron down and using thin CA
saturate each hinge. Turn the wing panel over and repeat the
process saturating the hinges again from the other side. Use
CA remover/debonder and a paper towel to remove any excess
CA along the hinge line.
Step 6
Hinge the opposite wing panel and aileron by repeating Steps 2–5.
Step 7
When the CA has completely dried, test the ailerons for security.
Firmly grasp the wing and aileron and using medium pressure try
to separate the aileron from the wing. Use caution not to crush the
wing structure.
