1. If you haven’t yet done so, cut a thin strip
of covering from all of the hinge slots in the
wings and ailerons, stab and elevators and fin
and rudder.
❏
2. Join one of the ailerons to the corresponding
wing with the hinges. If the hinges don’t remain
centered, stick a pin through the center of them,
then join the aileron.
3. Remove the pins if used. Adjust the aileron so
there is a small gap between the leading edge
of the aileron and the trailing edge of the
wing–just enough to slip a piece of paper
through or to see light through.
❏
4. Add six drops of thin CA to both sides of
the hinges. Keep a tissue nearby to absorb
excess CA in case any seeps into the hinge gap
or onto the wing.
❏
5. Join the rest of the control surfaces the
same way.
❏
1. Cut the covering from the slots for the strut
retainers in the top and bottom wings.
❏
2. Bend
four
of the aluminum strut retainers
as shown in the sketch. Use 30-minute epoxy to
permanently glue
only the bent strut
retainers
into the slots in the center panel in
the top wing. Be certain the holes in the
retainers are in the wing and that the retainers
are installed so the bends are facing
inward
.
While the epoxy is out, glue the wing dowels
into the bottom wing if you have not done so
already.
