Fit short pieces of heat-shrink sleeve over the landing flap hinges to prevent the jaws
opening.
On the underside of the wing you will find marked points indicating the position of the
flap hinges; note that the pivot axis of all the hinges must be exactly the same dis-
tance from the wing trailing edge. Temporarily fix the hinges to the wing with one
screw, as shown in the left-hand photo, then set the hinge assembly exactly at right-
angles to the wing trailing edge using an engineer’s square or setsquare before fitting
the remaining two screws to secure the hinge to the wing. Now offer up the landing
flaps to the wings and tape them in place temporarily. Fit the retaining screws to fix
the hinges to the flaps.
On one aileron remove a disc of covering film the same size as the base of the ai-
leron horn socket. Assemble the threaded socket, the cheesehead screw, the horn
lug and the nut as shown in the photo. Repeat for the second aileron.
