hinging the Ailerons
Required parts
Wing panel with aileron (left and right)
Required Tools and Adhesives
Thin CA T-pins
Pin vise Drill bit: 1/16-inch (1.5mm)
 1. Separate the aileron from the wing. Set the five CA
hinges aside.
 2. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to
drill a hole in the center of each hinge slot in the wing
to create a tunnel for the CA to wick into. This will
allow the CA to penetrate the hinge, creating a better
bond between the hinge and surrounding wood.
 2. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit
to drill a hole in the center of each hinge slot in
the aileron to create a tunnel for the CA to wick
into. This will allow the CA to penetrate the hinge,
creating a better bond between the hinge and
surrounding wood.
 3. Place a T-pin in the center of each of the five
hinges. This will center the hinges equally in the
aileron and wing when they are installed.
 4. Insert the hinges in the ailerons. The T-pin will rest
on the edge of the aileron bevel.
 5. Slide the aileron back into position. Center the
aileron so the gap at the ends is equal.
 6. Saturate each hinge with thin CA. Apply CA to
both the top and bottom of the hinge.
