IMPORTANT

  The control surfaces are held in place for packaging purposes using extra hinge material.  Please discard this 

material and use the included C/A-style hinges to hinge the control surfaces.  

C/A-style hinges are used to hinge the control surfaces.  These hinges are designed to be glued into place using thin C/A.  Do not 
glue these hinges into place using any other type of glue, such as thick C/A or epoxy.  Use of any adhesive other than thin C/A 

could result in failure of the hinges during flight.

For flutter-free control surfaces and crisp control response, it is imperative that the hinges be glued in properly.  This is achieved 
by having the correct hinge gap and using plenty of thin C/A glue.  Poor hinge installation can lead to control surface flutter which 

can result in a catastrophic failure of the airframe or loss of control of the airplane.

step 1:  hinging the aiLerons

❑

  Cut away the excess covering material from over the precut groove in 

the leading edge of the root end of one aileron.

☞

 Notice that there is a predrilled hole in the groove for the aileron torque 

rod wire.

❑

  Push two T-Pins through the center of three C/A-style hinges.

PRO TIP

  The T-Pins will keep the hinges square to the hinge line while 

you are hinging the aileron.

❑

  Slide one hinge into each of the three hinge slots in one aileron, making 

sure that you push each hinge in up to the T-Pins.

PRO TIP

  If you can't slide the hinges into the aileron up to the T-Pins, use a modeling knife with a #11 blade to cut the hinge 

slots deeper.
