❑
While holding the aileron tight against the wing, pivot the
aileron down about 45º and apply 5-6 drops of thin C/A to the
exposed area of each hinge. Turn the wing over and repeat
for the other side of the hinges.
☞
Remove any C/A that may run down the hinge line using
C/A Debonder.
❑
Allow the C/A to dry for about 15 minutes, then pivot the
aileron up and down to free up the hinges.
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the second
aileron onto the wing.
❑
Hinge the elevator halves and rudder using the same techniques as hinging the ailerons. Both elevator halves and the
rudder are hinged using two hinges each. When hinging the rudder, there should be no more than a 1/16" gap between the
rudder counter-balance and the vertical stabilizer.

After the C/A has fully cured, gently grasp each aileron and pull on it like you are trying to pull out the
hinges. The hinges should hold securely. If one or more hinges feels loose, apply more C/A to the hinge(s) and allow
it to completely cure.
