WING ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

AILERON INSTALLATION

1.

Collect the following parts:

(1) Left wing

(1) Right wing

(1) Left aileron

(1) Right aileron

(8) CA hinge

1.

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, making

sure all hinge slots are clean.

2.

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 in further than halfway into

the wing.

3.

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.

4.

Carefully check the alignment of the aileron.

There should be about 1/32" on both ends.

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.

5.

Keeping the aileron and wing in position,

apply 3 or 4 drops of Ultra Set thin CA to the

small exposed area of each hinge.

Turn the assembly over and again apply 3 or

4 drops of Ultra Set thin CA to the exposed

hinge surfaces.

Allow to dry for 10 minutes before flexing the

aileron.

6.

Repeat the above steps for the other half of
