Step-26:
Build two aileron frames from 19-
1/2” cut stick (See Step-25), A1, A2 and pre cut
aileron leading edge pieces. Note hinge slots
are pre cut and need to be positioned on the
edge of the aileron leading edge. Be sure to
align the hinge slots on the two leading edge
pieces. Be sure to use a straight edge such as a
ruler to keep the leading edge straight while
building.
Step-27:
Glue the stiffeners into the aileron
frame. Exact position of stiffeners is not critical
as long as they do not block hinge slots. Half of
the stiffeners can be omitted for a lighter
model.
Step-28:
Bevel the leading edge of the ailerons
to a blunt point. Round-off the trailing and side
edges. Sand smooth and cover with light model
covering.
Step-29:
Cut covering at hinge slots on the
wing and ailerons and insert CA hinges. Use a
pin pushed through the center of the hinge to
keep it from pushing all the way through while
installing the ailerons (See picture 29A). Check
that the aileron moves freely. Soak the hinge
with thin CA glue. The style and size supplied
with this kit may vary. It may be necessary to
make the hinge slots deeper.
Step-30:
Assemble the rear wing saddle from
parts P10, P8, P7 and P9. Bend P7 along the
dotted line so it forms over P9. When building
the trainer kit use P9T in place of P9 and P10
will be bent to conform to the dihedral of the
wing. It is also necessary to shim the mount
with 1/8” ply parts P16 between P10 and the
wing when building the trainer version. Be sure
to remove the covering where the saddle is
glued to the wing.
