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.

1. Use side cutters to trim the length of the control
horn to 1/4-inch (6mm) as shown.
2. Use medium CA to glue the control horn in the slot
made in the bottom of the aileron.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
3. Prepare the servo horn by enlarging the
outermost hole in a long single-sided servo horn
using a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit.
Secure the micro screw-lock connector to the
servo horn using the hardware provided with the
connector. Make sure to use threadlock on the nut to
prevent it from vibrating loose.
