 1. Use a rotary tool and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to
drill a hole in the center of each hinge. This will act as a
tunnel, allowing the thin CA to fully penetrate each hinge.
Note: It is suggested to drill the CA tunnel in the top and
bottom wings, ailerons, stabilizer, elevator, rudder and
fuselage at this time as well.
  2. Place a T-pin in the center of four of the CA hinges.
This will help in centering the hinge when installed.
Note: The hinges in your kit will differ from those
pictured. The hinges in your kit are narrower than shown
and result in an easier moving flight control surface.
  3. Place the four hinges into the slots in the wing. The
T-pins will rest against the edge of the wing.
