11) Mix up a small amount of Kwik Bond
30 Minute Epoxy. Remove the rudder and
apply a thin layer of epoxy to only the tab on
the nylon bearing. Be careful not to get any
epoxy on the tail wheel wire.
o
12) Slide the rudder and it's hinges, in-
cluding the nylon bearing tab into their precut
hinge slots in the trailing edge of the vertical
stabilizer and lower section of the fuselage.
With the rudder tight against the stabilizer,
rotate the rudder to one side about 45º. Apply
six drops of Kwik Bond Thin C/A to the ex-
posed area of each hinge. Allow the glue to
cure for about ten minutes. Once cured, the
rudder may be stiff and difficult to move. This
is normal. Gently move the rudder back and
forth about five to ten times to free it up.
INSTALL THE TAIL WHEEL
o
13) Install the 25mm diameter tail wheel
on the tail wheel wire. Secure the tail wheel
in place using one wheel collar and 3mm x
6mm machine screw. The tail wheel should
turn without binding.
HINGE THE BOTTOM WING AILERONS
o
14) The C/A hinges have already been
glued into the two ailerons. Working with one
aileron at a time, slide the aileron and it's
hinges into their precut hinge slots in the trail-
ing edge of the wing, making sure the torque
rod is firmly seated in the precut hole in the
leading edge of the aileron. Slide the aileron
in until it is tight against the trailing edge of
the wing. The maximum hinge gap should be
no more than 1/32” and the tip of the aileron
should be flush with the tip of the wing.
o
15) When satisfied with the fit, remove the
aileron and slide a small piece of waxed paper
between the aileron torque rod and the trailing
edge of the wing. See photo # 16 below.
Photo # 16
The waxed paper will prevent epoxy from
gluing the torque rod to the trailing edge of
the wing.
o
16) Mix up a small amount of Kwik Bond
30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer of ep-
oxy to the aileron torque rod. Also use a tooth-
pick and pack epoxy into the predrilled hole
in the aileron.
o
17) Slide the aileron and it's hinges into
their precut hinge slots in the trailing edge of
the wing, making sure the torque rod is firmly
seated in the precut hole in the leading edge
of the aileron. With the aileron tight against
the wing, rotate the aileron down about 45º.
Apply six drops of Kwik Bond Thin C/A to
the exposed area of each hinge. Allow the
glue to cure for about ten minutes. Once cured,
the aileron may be stiff and difficult to move.
This is normal. Gently move the aileron up
and down about five to ten times to free it up.
o
18) Repeat steps # 14 - # 17 for the sec-
ond aileron.
HINGE THE TOP WING AILERONS
o
19) The C/A hinges have already been
glued into the two ailerons. Working with
one aileron at a time, slide the aileron and it's
hinges into their precut hinge slots in the trail-
ing edge of the wing. Slide the aileron in un-
til it is tight against the trailing edge of the
wing. The maximum hinge gap should be no
more than 1/32” and the tip of the aileron
should be flush with the tip of the wing.
o
20) With the aileron tight against the
wing, rotate the aileron down about 45º. Ap-
ply six drops of Kwik Bond Thin C/A to the
exposed area of each hinge. Allow the glue
to cure for about ten minutes. Once cured,
the aileron may be stiff and difficult to move.
This is normal. Gently move the aileron up
and down about five to ten times to free it up.
o
21) Repeat steps # 19 and # 20 for the
opposite aileron.
