Step 8.
Cut two pieces of transparent UltraCote
®
(not included)
for sealing the ailerons to approximately 3" x 42". Fold both
pieces of UltraCote
®
down the center with the adhesive side to
the outside, making a sharp crease at the fold.
Step 9.
Using a ruler, measure 1/2" from the folded crease and
mark the pieces with a pen.
Step 10.
Using a sharp hobby knife with a #11 blade and a
straight edge, carefully cut through both layers of UltraCote
®
covering at the 1/2" point marked in Step 2. Cut both pieces.
Step 11.
Mark and cut both folded coverings to an overall
length of 40". These pieces will be inserted and ironed down
into the hinge bevel on the bottom of the ailerons.
Step 12.
Remove the backing from one piece of the UltraCote
®
.
Place the folded crease side to the center of the hinge line on the
bottom of one wing half. Using a straight edge as shown, hold
one side of the covering in place while ironing down the
opposite side with a sealing iron. We recommend setting
the iron temperature to 320° for this operation.
Step 13.
Fully deflect the aileron in the up position. Place the
straight edge over the hinge line covering that you just ironed
down in Step 5 with the edge of the straight edge placed firmly at
the bottom of the hinge line as shown. Iron down this side of the
covering, making sure the aileron is fully deflected.
Step 14.
Repeat the process for the other aileron.
