Fitting and Hinging the Ailerons
Each aileron is supplied with 7 Mylar hinges.
First mark a centerline across each hinge – be careful to orientate the hinge
correctly, drawing the centerline across the width of the hinge.
Then fold the hinge a few times along the centerline and gently compress the
hinge line fold with a pair of pliers, to help form a good hinge point.
Next use two pins to center each hinge, as pictured below. The pins are
pushed through the hinge centerline.
Now fit an aileron (leaving the hinge pins in place) to its corresponding wing
panel. Ensure that all 7 hinges have been fitted.
There should be no gap between the leading edge of the aileron and the
training edge of the wing panel.
