Please note that the Heinkel He 111 can be built either with an electric power system
or a pair of glowplug motors. It is important to decide on the version before you start
construction.
The wing
The first step is to glue the hinges in the ailerons and landing flaps. Draw a pencil line
on the centreline of the hinges.
The hinges should now be pushed into the control surfaces as far as the pencil line,
and glued in place. We recommend thin cyano for this: insert the hinge in the slot to a
depth of about 1 mm, then apply a drop of cyano on each side and immediately push
the hinge in as far as the pencil line.
Allow the glue to set hard, then temporarily (i.e. without glue) attach the ailerons and
landing flaps to the wings in order to check the fit.
When you are satisfied, pull the control surface out slightly, apply cyano to the
exposed hinges, then push them fully into the wings, leaving a gap about 0.5 mm
wide along the hinge axis to allow them to deflect to their full travel.
Locate the opening for the aileron servo with your fingertips, then use the tip of a hot
soldering iron to melt away the covering film over it. Alternatively use a sharp balsa
knife to remove the film.
Lengthen the aileron servo lead using the stated extension lead, and secure the
connection to prevent it coming adrift.
Draw the servo lead through the wing. Repeat the procedure with the other aileron
servo.
Fix the servos in the wings using the retaining screws, rubber grommets and metal
spacers supplied in the servo accessory packs.
Cut down the servo output arms to the shape shown in the photo, and open up the
outer holes to 2 mm Ø.
Fit the swivel pushrod connectors in the holes in the servo output arms, and check
that the connector barrels rotate smoothly, but
without
noticeable slop.
Apply a drop of UHU schraubensicher (thread-lock fluid) to the retaining nuts to
prevent them working loose.
Set the servos to centre from the transmitter, then fit the output arms on the servos
and fit the retaining screws.
Locate the slots for the aileron horns with your fingertips, then use the tip of a hot
soldering iron to melt away the covering film over them; alternatively use a sharp
balsa knife.
