WING ASSEMBLY
1. Collect the following parts:
(1) Left wing
(1) Right wing
(1) Left aileron
(1) Right aileron
(12) CA hinges
AILERON INSTALLATION
2. Locate the pre-cut aileron hinge slots in both
wing halves. Using a hobby knife (#11 blade),
slide the blade into each slot to make sure it
is cleanly cut.
Repeat this process with the ailerons, mak-
ing sure all hinge slots are clean.
3. Place a straight pin into the center of each of
the four CA hinges.
Slide each hinge into the hinge slots on one of
the wing halves. The pin will prevent the
hinges from going further than halfway into the
wing.
4. Select the aileron for the wing on which you
are working and insert the exposed half of
each hinge into the aileron slots.
4. Select the aileron for the wing on which you
are working and insert the exposed half of
each hinge into the aileron slots.
Slide the aileron toward the wing until no
gap remains between the aileron and the
wing.
5. Carefully check the alignment of the aileron.
It should be centered, with about 1/32" on
either end.
When satisfied with the alignment, remove
the straight pins, being sure to keep the
aileron tight to the wing. You may wish to
apply a few pieces of masking tape to keep
the pieces in place.
6. Keeping the aileron and wing in position,
deflect the surface to it’s full deflection and
apply 3 or 4 drops of CA glue to the small
exposed area of each hinge.
Turn the assembly over and again apply 3 or 4
drops of CA glue to the exposed hinge sur-
faces.
Allow to dry for 10 minutes before flexing the
aileron.
7. Repeat the above steps for the other three
wing ailerons.
