❑
Working with one aileron and wing panel for now, slide the aileron and its hinges into the precut hinge slots in the
trailing edge of the wing panel, making sure that the leading edge of the aileron is pushed firmly up against the trailing edge
of the wing panel and that the outer end of the aileron does not rub against the wing tip.
❑
While holding the aileron tight against the wing panel,
pivot the aileron down about 45º and apply 5-6 drops of thin
C/A to the exposed area of each hinge. Turn the wing panel
over and repeat for the other side of the hinges.
☞
Remove any C/A that may run down the hinge line using
C/A Debonder.
❑
Allow the C/A to dry for about 15 minutes, then pivot the
aileron up and down to free up the hinges.
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the second aileron.
IMPORTANT
After the C/A has fully cured, gently grasp each aileron and pull on it like you are trying to pull out the
hinges. The hinges should hold securely. If one or more hinges feels loose, apply more C/A to the hinge(s) and allow it
to completely cure.
Step 2: Hinging the Center-Flap, Elevator Halves & Rudder
❑
Hinge the center-flap, elevator halves and rudder using the same techniques as hinging the ailerons. The center-flap
is hinged using four hinges and the elevator halves and the rudder each use three hinges. When hinging the center-flap,
the outer ends of the center-flap should be equally spaced between the inside edges of the ailerons. When hinging the
elevator halves and the rudder, the outer ends of the control surfaces should not rub against the stabilizers. Remember,
after allowing the C/A to fully cure, pull on the control surfaces and the center-flap to check the integrity of the hinges.

Step 1: Installing the Landing Gear Wires
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering material from over the precut landing gear mounting slot in
the bottom of each wing half. Each slot is 4-1/8" long and 1/8" wide.
☞
The slots are located 5" out from the wing centerline and 5-1/2" back from the leading edge.
