 1. Locate the positions for the hinges. Drill a 1/16-
inch (1.5mm) hole in the center of each slot of both
the wing and aileron. This creates a tunnel for the
CA, allowing the CA to penetrate into the hinge
better, bonding the hinges more securely.
 2. Slide four hinges into the slits in the aileron.
Center the slot in the hinge with the hole drilled in
Step 1. Place a T-pin in each hinge to prevent it
from being pushed into the wing when installing
the aileron.
Do not use CA accelerator during the hinging
process. The CA must be allowed to soak into the
hinge to provide the best bond. Using accelerator
will not provide enough time for this process.
 3. Slide the aileron into position. Check to make
sure it can move without interference at the wing
root and wing tip. Remove the T-pins and apply
Thin CA to each hinge. Make sure the hinge is fully
saturated with CA. Use a paper towel to clean up
any excess CA from the wing and aileron. Make
sure to apply CA to both sides of the hinge.
