The ailerons are supplied temporarily taped to the wing panels.
Remove the strips of adhesive tape, and sand the leading edge of both ailerons to a
chamfer as shown in the photo.
The ailerons are attached to the wings using strips of adhesive film which have to be
cut from the decal sheet. The long strip is applied to the top surface of the ailerons,
with the hinge pivot axis running along the centre of the tape.
Hold the projecting ends of the tape and offer up the aileron to the wing. Note that the
ailerons should be held at the “full down” position, otherwise their travel will be
impeded.
With the aileron in this position, press the tape down onto the top surface of the wing.
Now invert the wing and fold the ailerons over, so that their upper surface lies flat on
the top surface of the wing. Apply three short strips of tape to each aileron as shown,
ensuring that the line of exposed adhesive on both strips of tape meets in the centre.
Apply these three strips of tape one at each end and one in the centre of the aileron.
The wing panels can now be joined using the plastic joiner supplied. Connect the
pre-formed end of the two aileron pushrods to the servo output lever as shown: the
shorter pushrod is fitted on the right, the longer rod on the left. Connect both to the
outer holes in the servo output lever; you will need to remove the output lever in order
to connect the pushrods. Secure the output lever on the servo again.
The two clevises must be adjusted in such a way that they can be connected to the
outer hole in the aileron horns when the servo is at centre and the ailerons are at
neutral.
When fitting the wing on the fuselage, it is important to check that both aileron
pushrods are free to move; you may need to adjust the clearance slots in the
fuselage slightly.
Assembling the WILGA 2000
Fit the wing panels together using the plastic joiner, and connect the aileron servo
lead to the extension lead which is already plugged into the receiver. The plastic
mounts at the wing roots feature projecting lugs at the leading edge; insert these lugs
in the holes in the plastic component inside the fuselage, then attach the wing to the
fuselage using the two metal M4 x 25 mm machine screws supplied. Don’t over-
tighten the retaining screws: tighten them just to the point where the wing cannot shift
on the fuselage.
Balancing the WILGA 2000
The completed model should balance at a point about 63 mm aft of the wing root
leading edge when supported on both sides of the wing, i.e. exactly in the centre of
