Section 4: Installing the Ailerons
13
Step 2
Place the hinges in the precut slots in the aileron (or
wing if you prefer). The T-pin will rest against the edge
when installed correctly.
Step 3
Slide the aileron and wing together. The gap between
the aileron and wing should be nearly infinitely small,
approximately 1/64".
Step 4
Use a ruler to align the end of the aileron to the wing.
Also check the gap between the wing and aileron at
the root, which should be about 1/32"–1/16".
Note
: Do not use CA accelerator during the
hinging process. The CA must be allowed to
soak into the hinge to provide the best bond.
Using accelerator will not provide enough time
for this process.
