HINGING THE AILERON.
Note :
The control surfaces, including the ai-
lerons, elevators, and rudder, are prehinged
with hinges installed, but the hinges are not
glued in place. It is imperative that you prop-
erly adhere the hinges in place per the steps
that follow using 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 until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and aileron. Re-
move the T-pins and snug the aileron against
the wing panel. A gap of 1/64” or less should
be maintained between the wing panel and
aileron.
