 6. 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. Move the aileron
through its range of motion several times to break
in the hinges. This will reduce the initial load on the
servo when it is attached for the first time.
 7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 to hinge the
remaining aileron.

 1. Insert the control horn in the slot in the aileron.
 2. Slide the control horn backplate over the end
of the control horn from the opposite side of the
control surface. Snap the backplate so the horn is
held tight against the control surface. Apply 2–3
drops of thin CA to the top and bottom of the horn
backplate to keep it from accidentally coming loose
in flight.
 3. Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to remove the
servo included with the servo. Set the screw aside
in a safe location. Place a long 3D servo horn
on the servo. Use the radio system to center the
aileron servo. Make sure to position the horn so
it is parallel to the hinge line. If the horn can’t be
installed parallel, use the sub-trim feature of the
radio system to fine-tune the position of the horn.
Use side cutters to remove the side of the horn
facing the root of the wing.
