REDWING RC 50CC EXTRA
Wing Assembly
Start by removing the aileron and all the hinge
points from both wings.
Coat the pivot of each hinge with petroleum
jelly all the way around working the hinge back
and forth to ensure full coverage into the pivot.
NOTE:
Keep clear of
the ribbed
portion as this
will prevent
adhesion of the
epoxy.
You will install the point hinges into the wing
side first.
•Mix a small batch of 30 minute epoxy (enough
to do all the wing hinge points -2 to 4 quarter’s
size).
•Using a toothpick, apply epoxy into each hinge
point bore. Then coat one end of the point
hinge with epoxy to install.
NOTE:
Make
sure to align
the hinges by
flexing them
down 90
degrees and
fully inserting.
You should have some epoxy squeeze-out as
the pin is inserted. Be careful to pull the excess
epoxy away from the hinge point and not work
it into the pivot.
NOTE:
Excess Epoxy is easily removed with
denatured alcohol before it cures.
From the Pro:
To make things easy, use a Q-tip to
clear epoxy from around each hinge point as it is
installed.
•Install all the hinge points for both wings and
set aside to cure.
From the Pro:
While the epoxy is curing, it is a great
time to skip ahead and start hinging of the rudder
and elevator halves.
Once the epoxy has cured, you can do the
aileron side.
