Aileron Hinging
Required Parts
Wing (left and right)
Aileron (left and right)
CA hinges (8)
Required Tools and Adhesives
T-pins Thin CA
Drill Paper towel
Drill bit: 1 /
16
-inch (1.5mm)
  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.
Note: 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.
