 3. Prepare the aileron for hinging following the
procedure described in Step 2.
 4. Slide the hinges into the aileron. Insert the
hinges so the holes in the hinge are at the hinge
line. Insert a T-pin through one of the holes to keep
the hinge centered when the aileron is installed on
the wing panel.
 5. Slide the hinges in the aileron into the slots on
the wing. Check that the gap at each end of the
aileron is equal.
When gluing the hinges, do not use a CA
accelerator. The CA must be allowed time to
soak into the hinges to provide the best bond
between the hinge and surrounding wood.
 6. Remove the T-pins from the hinges. Make sure
the aileron is tight against the wing. Wick thin CA
into each hinge, both top and bottom, until the
hinge is saturated with CA. Allow the CA to fully
cure before proceeding.
 7. Once the CA has fully cured, gently pull on the
wing and aileron to make sure the hinges are glued
securely. If not, reapply thin CA to any hinges that
are not secure.
 8. Flex the aileron through its range of motion
a number of times to break in the hinges. This
will reduce the initial load on the servo for your
first flights.
 9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 to install the remaining
aileron and hinges.
