a. Cut a cavity in the wing for the servo. Size will depend on the servo and/or
mount.
b. Cut strips of 2" fiberglass tape for both sides of the wing center joint.
49.
We use regular Sig Epoxy Glue (not Kwik-Set Glue) for
applying the fiberglass tape, since it is thinner and easier to
spread out smoothly. It will be even easier to spread if you
warm the mixing container by setting it in hot water for a
few minutes to raise the temperature of the glue. But work
quickly, for the glue will set up much faster than normally
when warmed.
a. Coat the wing center with glue.
b. Lay the tape on top of the glue.
50. Glue hardwood mounts for the servo into the cavity. Coat the entire inside of the
cavity with epoxy glue to prevent the foam from being damaged by fuel or dope.
51.
The plastic servo mount in the photo is fastened to hardwood mounts with No.2
screws. Other brands may need a different arrangement.
52.
a. Draw a centerline on the front of the 7/16"x1-1/4" shaped aileron stock and
shaping lines on top and bottom, as indicated.
b. Carve and sand the front of the aileron stock to shape, so that it can move
without bumping the aileron. (Check before gluing.)
c. Slot the aileron to receive the aileron horn wire.
d. Drill a 3/32" hole in the aileron to take the arm of the wire.
NOTE:
At this point it is best to cover both the wing and the ailerons before gluing the
ailerons to the wing. This is particularly advisable in the case of plastic film
covering so that access to the edges of the parts is open to the iron.
