f)
Fit the servo into the servo mount in the wing panel, (note that
the servo is positioned so that the servo arm is at the forward
end toward the wing leading edge). Take up any slack in the
servo wire as you insert the servo in the mount. Use a pin vise
and a small drill bit to drill small pilot holes in the servo mount
for the servo mounting screws. Use the screws supplied with
your radio system to mount the servo in place on the servo
mount. Repeat this procedure to mount the servo in the
opposite wing panel.

2) Hinge the ailerons
Note that the CA Hinges are installed, but not yet glued, in the
ailerons and wing panels. The installation process for the hinges
is the same for all of the control surfaces on this model.
a)
If you removed the ailerons and hinges from the wing panels
when you tightened the covering material, reinstall them now.
First insert the four CA Hinges into the slots in the aileron. Put two
pins in the center of each hinge, up against the leading edge of the
aileron, to keep the hinges centered during the next step.
b)
Now carefully insert the exposed portion of the four hinges into
the trailing edge of the wing. You will find it easiest to slide the
hinges into the slots at angle, one hinge at a time, instead of trying
to push straight into all the hinges at once.
c)
Adjust the aileron so that the tip of the aileron is 3/32” in from
the wing tip. The ailerons should be tight against the pins in the
hinges to minimize the gap between the wing and the aileron. The
aileron is now in the proper position for permanently gluing them
in place with thin CA glue.
d)
Flex the aileron down and hold it in this position. Remove the pins
from one hinge and then carefully apply 3-4 drops of thin CA glue
directly onto the hinge in the gap. You will notice that the glue is
quickly wicked into the slot as it penetrates both the wood and
the hinge. We suggest using a fine tipped applicator on the glue
bottle to better control the flow of glue.
e)
Turn the wing over and glue the other side of the hinge. Continue
this process until you have glued both sides of all the hinges! Keep
a rag handy to wipe off any excess thin CA glue. (If you get some
glue smears on the plastic covering, don't worry about them right
now. Once all the hinging is done, you can clean the smears off
the covering with CA De-bonder.
f)
Let the glue dry 10-15 minutes before flexing the hinges. At first
you might notice a little stiffness in the joint. This will go away
after the hinges have been flexed back and forth a few times.

3) Install the aileron control horns
a)
Remove the paint from the lower portion of the Control horn that
will be inserted into the pre-cut slot in the aileron, and clean that
portion with a cloth and some isopropyl alcohol. Mix up a small
batch of 5-minute epoxy, and apply to the pre-cut slot and control
horn. Before the epoxy sets, insert the control horn into the pre-
cut slot and clean up any excess epoxy using rubbing alcohol and
a paper towel.
