2.

Locate the pre-cut aileron hinge slots and flap

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 and the

flaps, making 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 and flap for the wing on

which you are working on 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" away

from the wing tip.

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,

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.

Do the same steps for the flap. Remember to

leave a gap at both ends of the flap.

7.

Repeat the above steps for the other half of

the wing.
