5.      

Once  the  epoxy  has  cured,  trial  fi t 

both wing halves together. The cen tre 

ribs should fi t together fl ush with no 

gaps. If gaps do exist, use 220 grit 

sandpaper and sand down the high 

spots on the root ribs and the wing 

joiner until a proper fi t is achieved. The 

correct amount of dihedral is ready-

built into the wings. With one wing half 

laid fl at on the table, the other wing 

tip should be ap prox i mate ly 8cm off 

the table surface. If this needs to be 

adjusted, you may do so by sanding 

small amounts from the cen tre ribs 

or dihedral brace.

 

6.      

Carefully apply masking tape around 

the top and bottom edge of the root 

rib of each wing half to protect them 

from damage caused by epoxy.

 

7.      

Mix a generous amount of 30 minute 

epoxy. Coat the exposed half of the 

dihedral  brace,  and  the  remaining 

wing  joiner  box  and  both  root  ribs 

with epoxy. Slide the two wing halves 

to geth er and carefully align them at 

the leading and trailing edges. Wipe 

away any excess epoxy using paper 

tow els. Use mask ing tape wrapped 

around  the  centre  section  to  hold 

the  halves  in  place  until  the  epoxy 

cures.

PARTS REQUIRED

SERVO INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVO MOUNT

 

{1} Plywood Aileron Servo Mount

 

1) Install the rubber grommets and brass 

collets onto the aileron servo.  Test fi t the ser vo 

into the ai le ron servo mount.

Because  the  size  of  servos  differ,  you 

may need to adjust the size of the precut 

opening in the mount.  The notch in the 

sides  of  the  mount  allow  the  servo  lead  to 

pass through.

 

2) Remove the aileron servo.  Place the 

mount onto the wing, aligning the cutout in the 

mount with the cutout in the wing.  The two 

notches in the mount should face the leading 

edge of the wing.

   3)   

While holding the servo mount fi rmly 

in place, trace around it using a pen.

  

4) Remove  the  mount,  and  using  a 

mod el ing knife, carefully remove the covering 

from inside the outline you drew.

  

5) Using  Kwik  Bond  5  Minute  Epoxy, 

glue  the  servo  mount  into  place.    Remove 

any ex cess epoxy using a paper towel and 

rubbing alcohol.  Use pieces of masking tape 

to hold the tray in place until the ep oxy fully 

cures.  

 

8.      

When the epoxy has cured, care ful ly 

remove  the  masking  tape  from  the 

wing.

 

9.      

Peel off the backing from the self ad-

 he sive covering strip. Apply the strip to 

the centre section of the wing starting 

from the bottom trailing edge. Wrap 

the strip all the way around the wing 

until it meets the trailing edge again. 

Trim off any excess strip.
