Before beginning construction, decide what style of wing is
desired (conventional or quad flap) and what type of engine will
be mounted on the model. The conventional aileron wing will be
presented in this section. Each aileron will be controlled by its
own servo. You will need two servos when you begin Section 3.
For a standard wing configuration, we recommend a servo that
has 40 oz/in of torque or greater, such as the JR 537 servo that
now comes standard with JR radio systems. The JR 531 or 8101
servos are also excellent to use for aileron servos in the wing.
Note:
The control surfaces, including the ailerons, flaps,
elevator, and rudder, come with the hinges installed, but
the hinges are not glued in place. It’s imperative that you
use a high quality thin CA glue to properly adhere the
hinges and control surfaces in place.
Step 1.
Carefully remove one of the wing panels from its pro-
tective plastic. Save the plastic, as it will be used later in Section
2 to protect the wing panel surface from epoxy smears. Remove
the aileron from the wing panel. Note the position of the hinges.
Step 2.
Remove each hinge from the wing panel and place a
T-pin in the center outside edge of each hinge. Slide each hinge
into the wing panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing.
Step 3.
Slide the aileron onto the wing until there’s only a slight
gap (approx. 1/32" or less). The hinges are now centered on the
wing panel and aileron. Remove the T-pin and snug the aileron
against the wing panel. This will ensure that the hinges are centered.
Note:
The hinge is constructed of a special material that
allows the CA to wick (or penetrate) and distribute
throughout the hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structure. Before applying CA, make sure the aileron
moves freely without binding on the wing.
Step 4.
Deflect the aileron and completely saturate the hinge
with thin CA glue. The aileron’s front surface should lightly
contact the wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the hinge
is glued in place, a 1/ 32 " gap or less will be maintained
throughout the length of the aileron.
