Do not use Oil !
Insert the Hinge:
Insert the Hinges
into the control surface’s hinge hole. Press the
hinge sufficiently into the hole so that the metal hinge pin is in-line
with the control surface’s hinge point or line. Bend the hinge as shown
in the picture (left) so that the free hinge arm is perpendicular to the
control surface’s hinge line. This will assure that the hinge axis is in-
line with the control surface’s hinge line.
Repeat this process for all hinge locations on all
control surface. (2-Elevators, Rudder, 2-Ailerons)
Step 1: Hinge Installation for all Control Surfaces:
In this step, you will install all the hinges into the Ailerons (2), Elevator (2-halves), and
the Rudder. There should be seventeen (17) hinges in all. Three (3) for each elevator
half, three (3) for the Rudder, four (4) for each aileron. You will need a light grease, the 17
hinges, and each control surface. Epoxy the hinges only into the control surfaces,
do not
attach control surfaces to its corresponding mating part (i.e. elevator to horizontal stabi-
lizer) at this time.
While the epoxy is curing, move on to Step 2.
Grease Hinge Area
:
Using a light grease such as Vaseline, lightly cover the entire hinge
area to prevent the epoxy from entering the hinge joint. Take care not
to get grease on the ribbed hinge shank area where it will be glued
into the control surface.
Apply Epoxy to Hinge Hole
:
Mix an ample amount of 2-part, 30-minute epoxy
f o l l o w i n g
the epoxy manufacturer’s directions. Apply a sufficient amount, using
a toothpick to the hinge hole and allow to settle into the hole. Wipe off
any excess epoxy from the surface.
Dry Fit Control Surfaces
:
Place the hinges into the control surface hinge-holes and slip the
assembly into the corresponding, mating part (i.e. Aileron to wing, el-
evator to Horz. Stab, etc.) Check for fit and alignment. There should
be no appreciable gap at the hinge line. The hinges’ metal pins should
be at the control surface’s hinge line or pivot point. When satisfied,
continue. Mark the ailerons to know which wing panel they go on.
