Joining the Wing Panels
Required Parts
Left wing panel
Right wing panel
Aluminum wing tube
Required tools and Adhesives (optional)
30-minute epoxy
Mixing cups
Mixing sticks
Paper towels
Rubbing alcohol
Epoxy brush
1. Slide the aluminum wing tube into one of the
wing panels. The tube will only slide in half-way.
Do not force the tube to slide further than it will
easily slide.
2. Mix 1/2-ounce (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy. Use
an epoxy brush to apply a thin layer of epoxy on
the root of both the left and right wing panels as
shown.
3. Slide the remaining wing panel onto the
aluminum wing tube.
4. The tab from the right wing panel will key into
the left wing panel. Rotate the panels as shown
to insert the tab from the right panel into the left
panel.
5. Rotate the panels so they are in alignment. Use
a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove any
excess epoxy from the wing. Set the wing aside
until the epoxy fully cures.
5. Place the hinges in the aileron as shown.
A nylon tube has been installed in the aileron
to accept the torque rod. It is not necessary
to glue the torque rod into the aileron.
6. Slide the aileron back into position. Make sure
the torque rod enters the nylon tube installed in the
aileron.
When gluing the hinges, do not use CA
accelerator. The CA must be allowed to
soak into the hinge to provide the best bond
between the hinge and surrounding wood.
7. Press the aileron tightly against the wing. Center
the aileron in the opening and check that it can
move freely without binding at the root or tip. Wick
thin CA into the top and bottom of all three hinges.
8. Once the CA has fully cured. Gently pull on the
aileron to make sure the hinges are secure. If any
hinges are loose, reapply CA to the hinge.
9. Flex the aileron through its range of motion a
number of times to break in the aileron hinges.
10. Repeat Steps 1 through 9 to hinge the
remaining aileron.
