Parts Needed
• Wing panels with ailerons (right and left)
• CA hinges (8)
Tools and Adhesives Needed
• T-pins
• Thin CA
• CA remover/debonder
• Paper towels
Caution
: The hinges included with the Cessna
are made of a special material that allows the thin
CA to wick or penetrate and distribute throughout
the hinge, securely bonding them to the wood
structure. It is imperative that you properly secure
the hinges in place, per these instructions using
high-quality thin CA glue.
Step 1
Locate the right and left wing panels, right and left ailerons and
eight CA hinges.
Step 2
Working with one wing panel at a time, place a T-pin in the
center of four CA hinges. Slide each hinge into the precut slot
in the outboard trailing edge of the wing as shown.
Step 3
Slide the aileron onto the installed CA hinges until they touch
the T-pins. Remove the T-pins and push the aileron in until
there is only a slight gap (1/32" or less) between the wings
trailing edge and the aileron. To prevent the aileron from
binding, leave a 1/32" gap between the aileron and the wing
tip.
