24. Cut 1-1/4" off wing tip end of ailerons, and glue to T.E.
flush with end of T.E. as shown above.
23a. Place wing over plan and mark T.E. for nylon aileron
bearing locations. Using a razor knife, cut slot through
T.E. center-line for each bearing glue tab.
IMPORTANT: IN THE NEXT STEPS THE WING MUST
BE TURNED BOTTOM SIDE UP.
Cut a clearance slot 1/2" from center joint in wing T.E.
and 1/2" from inner ends of T.E. inboard sections. These
are clearance slots for the strip aileron wires-they allow
the threaded end ("horn") of the wire to rotate forward
and back.
23b. Using NO GLUE AT FIRST, temporarily slide bearing
tabs in wing slots and position both T.E. inboard sec-
tions over aileron wires. Check for "horn" movement-top
to move about 3/4" total fore and aft.
Remove TE. inboard sections and glue bearing tabs into
wing.
Carefully glue TE. inboard sections in place (CAUTION:
Keep glue off wires).
Position ply horn angle gauge at threaded end of horn
wire, slowly press aileron on other (3/8" long end) of
wire to make a mark. With a small nail, make a hole for
the wire Work carefully, keeping hole centered inside
aileron. Repeat for other aileron.
