Section 1a: Quad-Flap Wing Assembly
9
Step 5a
Turn the wing panel over and deflect the aileron and flap
in the opposite direction from the previous step. Apply
thin CA glue to each aileron hinge, making sure the CA
penetrates into the aileron, flap and the wing.
Step 6a
Using CA remover/debonder and a paper towel, remove
any excess CA glue that may have accumulated on the
wing aileron or flap hinge area.
Step 7a
Repeat Steps 1A through 6A for the opposite wing panel.
Step 8a
After both the aileron and flap control surfaces are
securely hinged, firmly grasp the wing, flap, and aileron
to check that they are securely glued and cannot be
pulled apart. To do this, apply medium pressure to try to
separate the control surfaces from the wing. Use caution
to be certain you don’t crush the wing structure.
Step 9a
Move the control surfaces up and down to “work in” the
hinges and check for proper movement.
Important
: If any binding has developed
between the control surfaces, it must be
removed. You may have to trim away some
covering or balsa to make each control
surface move freely.
