WING ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

AILERON INSTALLATION

1.

Collect the following parts:

(1) Left wing

(1) Right wing

(1) Left aileron

(1) Right aileron

(10) Jet hinge

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 JET™ 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.

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.

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.

6.

Keeping the aileron and wing in position,

apply 3 or 4 drops of thin CA to the small

exposed area of each hinge.

Turn the assembly over and again apply 3 or

4 drops of CA to the exposed hinge surfaces.

Allow to dry for 10 minutes before flexing the

aileron.

7.

Repeat the above steps for the other half of

the wing.
