HINGING THE AILERON.
Note :
The control surfaces, including the ailer-
ons, elevators, and rudder, are prehinged with
hinges installed, but the hinges are not glued in
place. It is imperative that you properly adhere
the hinges in place per the steps that follow us-
ing a high-quality thin C/A glue.
1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
2) Remove each hinge from the wing panel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing
panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing
panel. This will help ensure an equal amount
of hinge is on either side of the hinge line
when the aileron is mounted to the aileron.

3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron un-
til there is only a slight gap. The hinge is
now centered on the wing panel and ai-
leron. Remove the T-pins and snug the
aileron against the wing panel. A gap of
1/64” or less should be maintained be-
tween the wing panel and aileron.
