Post-Paint>Wings>Prepare wings for fitting
Objectives of this task:
To prepare the wings prior to fitting them to the fuselage.
Materials required:
Resin and flock
Card #16 „
Flaps
‟
Prepare the flaps
Run a 3/16” drill though the bolt hole in each flap hanger to clear any paint and debris out of
the holes. Clean out the 1/4” holes in the flap pivot arms in a similar manner.
The flaps will be fitted to the wings after the wings have been fitted to the fuselage.
Fit the ailerons
Hold the aileron in place and slide the hinge pins though each hinge, starting from the side of
the hinge where the pin retaining slot was filed in the
Pre-Paint>Wings>Fit ailerons
task.
Fit the pin retainers and hold them in place with a 5/32” machine thread screw.
Place the ailerons in the neutral position and place a length of cloth tape over the top surface
of the wing and the aileron. This will prevent the ailerons from dropping when the wing is
turned right way up.
Turn the wings over so that they are right way up.
Fit the aileron cable rod end to the aileron drive arm with an AN3 bolt fitted through the drive
arm, then an AN960-416 (3/16”) flat washer, then the rod end followed by an AN960-515
(1/4”) flat washer and a Nyloc nut as shown in the photos above.
Tighten the Nyloc nuts to safety and mark with
Torqueseal
