E-flite Leader 480 ARF Assembly Manual

Do not use CA accelerator when gluing the hinges.

The CA must be allowed to soak into the hinge for the

best bond between the hinge and surrounding wood.



7. Once the CA has cured, gently pull on the control

surface and wing to make sure the hinges are glued

securely. If not, apply CA to those hinges that are not

glued and recheck.



8. Move the aileron through its range of motion

several times to break in the hinges. This will reduce

the initial load on the servo during your first flights.

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 to hinge the

remaining aileron.
