5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the 

aileron in the opposite direction from the 

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each 

hinge, making sure that the C/A penetrates 

into both the aileron and wing panel.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a pa-

per towel, remove any excess C/A glue that 

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileron hinge area.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing 

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

8) After both ailerons are securely hinged, 

firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to 

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully ap-

plying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

Work the aileron up and down sev-

eral times to “work in” the hinges 

and check for proper movement.
