INSTALL THE WING WRAP

3.27 Locate the 6" wide 2-mil wing wrap and mark its location on the wing by drawing two lines around the wing, each

3" from the center. If your wing is premarked, the wing wrap should extend about 1/16" outside each mark, just covering it
up.

3.28 Cut a slot in the wing wrap to allow it to wrap around the wing with the torque rods extending up through the slot.

The wrap should meet on the bottom of the wing, about 1" to 2" from the trailing edge. Install the wing wrap with contact
cement by laying the wrap's slot over the torque rods and wrapping it around the trailing edge, gluing it in place and
finishing it about 1" to 2" from the trailing edge on the bottom. Then start wrapping the top, placing the wrap toward the

leading edge. When you reach the leading edge, carefully bend the wrap around the leading edge tightly and continue
gluing it along the bottom of the wing between your lines. When you reach the beginning of the wrap on the bottom, trim

off the excess with a hobby knife and glue it flush with the other end.

3.29 Install your servo and aileron controls. Cut a hole through the top wing wrap and wing just aft of the spar for the

aileron servo. Locate the 1" X 1" X 1/4" wood servo block. Measure the servo block and cut it for your servo. You want the
servo bottom to be resting on the inside bottom of the wing, with the screws for the servo in the servo block (see

illustration). Using slow CA glue or epoxy, glue the servo block to the spar. Now apply double stick tape to your servo where
it contacts both the wing bottom and the servo block and position it in place. Now drill pilot holes in the servo block and

mount the servo with screws in the block.

3.30 Install aileron control rods and control assemblies to torque rods and servo. Using the two 10" long 2/56 threaded

rods and the aileron "A" frame control horns with wheel collars supplied, connect your torque rods to the servo. We use Z-
bends at the servo and the nylon clevises at the torque rods. Use 1/4" long pieces of fuel tubing as "keepers" on your
clevises. Use the largest servo horn available for your servo and install the rods in the outer-most holes. This provides
maximum aileron control. Aileron throw is adjusted by moving the position of the connectors up and down on the torque rods.
