Step 1: Hinging the Ailerons
❑
Center each hinge within its precut slot in both ailerons.
If you can't push the hinge in halfway, carefully cut the slot
deeper using a modeling knife.
☞
Each aileron is hinged using three hinges and the precut
slot in each hinge should be perpendicular to the leading edge
of the ailerons.
❑
Carefully glue each hinge into place using 5-6 drops of
thin C/A on each side of the hinge.
Do not use thick C/A or
epoxy. Use only thin C/A for proper adhesion.
☞
If any C/A gets onto the aileron, it can be removed promptly using a paper towel soaked with a small quantity of
C/A Debonder.
❑
Cut out a 2" square piece of waxed paper and slide it
between the torque rod and the trailing edge of the wing on
one wing half.
☞
The waxed paper will prevent epoxy from gluing the torque
rod to the trailing edge.
❑
Using 220 grit sandpaper, lightly sand the end of the aileron torque rod to roughen the surface. Doing this will allow the
epoxy to stick to the metal more securely.
❑
Mix a small quantity of 5 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the end of the aileron torque rod and pack more into the
predrilled hole and the precut groove in the leading edge of the aileron.
