E-flite Extra 260 480 ARF Assembly Manual

 

  3. Slide the aileron into position. Check to make sure  

it can move without interference at the wing root and 

wing tip. Remove the T-pins and apply Thin CA to each 

hinge. Make sure the hinge is fully saturated with CA. 

Use a paper towel to clean up any excess CA from the 

wing and aileron. Make sure to apply CA to both sides 

of the hinge.

Note

: Placing a #11 hobby blade between the aileron 

leading edge and wing trailing edge to position the 

aileron will result in a nice free moving hinge for 3D 

throws without any binding.

 

  4. Firmly grasp the wing and aileron and gently pull on 

the aileron to ensure the hinges are secure and cannot 

be pulled apart. Use caution when gripping the wing and 

aileron to avoid crushing the structure.
