e)
Turn the part over and glue the other side of the hinge. Continue
this process until you have glued both sides of all the hinges! Keep
a rag handy to wipe off any excess thin CA glue. (If you get some
glue smears on the plastic covering, don't worry about them right
now. Once all the hinging is done, you can clean the smears off
the covering with CA De-bonder.
f)
Let the glue dry 10-15 minutes before flexing the hinges. At first
you might notice a little stiffness in the joint. This will go away
after the hinges have been flexed back and forth a few times.
INSTALL AILERON CONTROL HORNS & PUSHRODS
From the kit contents locate:
(2) Nylon Control Horns
(6) M2 x 15 mm PWA Screws
(2) Short Pushrod Wires with M2 Hex Nut
(2) Metal R/C Clevis
(2) Nylon Pushrod Keepers
(2) Small pieces of Fuel Tubing
❑
3) Look closely and you will see three holes pre-drilled in the bottom
of the ailerons for mounting the nylon control horns. Screw the
control horn in position on the bottom of the aileron using three
M2 x 15mm wood screws. It’s a good idea to remove the screws
after installing them, adding a drop of thin CA to each threaded
hole. This will harden the wood and give the screws a better bite
into the wood. When the thin CA had dried, reinstall the three
aileron screws.
❑
4) Next assemble and install the aileron pushrods.
a)
Slide a short piece of Fuel Tubing onto the small end of the
Metal R/C Clevis. Screw the Hex Nut on the Aileron Pushrod
Wire all the way up to the end of the threads. Then screw the
metal clevis halfway onto the threaded end of the Aileron
Pushrod Wire.
b)
Clip the metal clevis into the last hole in the nylon control horn.
Lay the other end of the pushrod wire over the outer hole in the
servo arm. Use a felt tip pen to mark the wire where it crosses the
hole. Use a pair of pliers to put a sharp 90-degree bend in the wire
at the mark.
c)
Insert the bent end of the pushrod into the servo arm, from the
top. Note: You will most likely need to use a 1/16” dia. drill to
open the hole in the servo arm to accept the pushrod wire.
d)
Mark and cut off the excess end of the pushrod wire, leaving 1/8”
of wire protruding below the bottom of the servo arm.
e)
Clip a Nylon Pushrod Keeper in place on the servo end of the
pushrod wire. Snap the free end of the keeper up and over the
protruding end of the pushrod wire, underneath the servo arm.
f)
Check that the aileron servo is in neutral position and adjust the
metal clevis as needed to get the aileron in neutral position.
g)
Once the ailerons are properly adjusted, insure that the metal
clevis can’t open up and come loose from the control horn by
sliding the piece of Fuel Tubing over the arms of the clevis. Also
tighten the M2 Hex Nut up against the back of the clevis.
