1. If you have not done so already, remove the major
parts of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any
parts are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at
the address or telephone number listed in the
“Kit
Contents”
section on page 5.

2. Remove the tape and separate the ailerons from the
wing and the elevators from the stab. Use a covering iron
with a covering sock on high heat to tighten the covering if
necessary. Apply pressure over sheeted areas to
thoroughly
bond the covering to the wood.
❏ ❏
1. Test fit the
ailerons
to the
wing
with the hinges,
making sure the
aileron torque rod
fits into the hole in the
aileron. Once you are satisfied with the fit, remove the
aileron from the wing. Insert the hinges into the slots in the
aileron. If the hinges did not remain centered, stick a pin
through the middle of the hinge to hold it in position.
❏ ❏
2. Apply a small amount of 6-minute epoxy into the
hole in the aileron for the aileron torque rod. Working quickly,
install the aileron to the wing. Use rubbing alcohol to clean
any excess epoxy from the aileron and wing.
❏ ❏
3. Remove any pins you may have inserted into the
hinges. Adjust the aileron so there is a small gap between the
LE of the aileron and the wing. The gap should be small, just
enough to see light through or to slip a piece of paper through.
❏ ❏
4. Apply six drops of thin CA to the top and bottom of
each hinge. Do not use CA accelerator. After the CA has
fully hardened, test the hinges by pulling on the aileron.
❏
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the left wing panel.
❏
1. Locate the two hardwood
wing joiners
. Look closely and
you will see that the joiner has a definite angle on the top and
the bottom. The top of the joiner must be facing the top of the
wing when it is installed into the wing in the next step.
❏
2. Test fit the joiner into both wing halves. The joiner
should fit slightly loose to allow room for glue. If the joiner is
snug, sand the face, top or bottom of the joiner as needed
to get a good fit.
❏
3. Temporarily tape the wings together. Place the wing on
the bench. With one wing panel placed flat on the bench,
the other wing should measure approximately 3-3/8"
