1. Locate the hardware to install the aileron linkages.
The wing assembly is also required for this section of the
manual.
2. Use a ruler and a felt-tipped pen to make a small
mark on the aileron used for positioning the aileron control
horn. Align the ruler so it is resting against the outside edge of
the servo horn and is 90-degrees to the aileron hinge line.
3. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove the
backplate from the control horn. Center the control horn on
the mark made in the previous step. Set the front edge of
the horn back 1/8-inch (3mm) from the edge of the bevel
to guarantee the horn is positioned on the hardwood block
located in the aileron. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the
locations for the two mounting screws on the aileron.
