7. Check the alignment of the aileron. Use a ruler
to make sure the end of the aileron is aligned
evenly with the wing tip.
8. Remove the T-pins from the hinges. Set the hinge
gap using a hobby knife with a #11 blade. The
blade should just fit in the gap between the aileron
and wing.
When hinging the aileron, do not use CA accelerator.
The CA must be allowed to penetrate the hinge or
the bond between the hinge and wood could fail.
9. Flex the aileron slightly so the hinges can be
seen. Make sure not to change the hinge gap in the
process. Saturate the hinges using thin CA on both
the top and bottom of the hinge to both sides of the
wing and aileron.
10. After the CA has fully cured, check to make
sure the hinges are secure by gently pulling on the
aileron and wing. If you find any loose hinges,
apply more CA to the hinge and recheck.
11. Flex the aileron through its range of motion a
few times to break in the aileron hinges.
12. Repeat Steps 1 through 11 to join the
remaining aileron to its wing panel.
