through the mounting holes in the control horn, drilling through
the aileron. Insert a 5/64" x 5/8" [2x16mm] machine screw
through the control horn and the aileron. Secure the horn by
threading the screws into the nylon back plate, tightening it
to the aileron.

10. Thread a nylon clevis 20 complete turns onto each
6" [152mm] pushrod. Slide a silicone clevis retainer onto
the clevis and connect the clevises to the outer holes of the
control horn. Center the servo and aileron and then mark the
pushrod where it aligns with the hole in the servo arm. Make
a 90 degree bend on the mark. Cut the excess wire, leaving
3/8" [9.5mm] of wire. Insert the wire through the outer hole
in the servo arm securing it with a nylon Faslink.

11. Repeat steps 1-10 for the left wing.
Finish the Wing Panels
❏
1. Use epoxy to glue the 1/8" x 3/4" [3 x 19mm] anti-
rotation pin into the hole at the trailing edge of the root rib
of the right wing panel. Half of the pin should be inserted
into the wing. Use a paper towel dampened with denatured
alcohol to wipe away any excess epoxy.
❏
2. Examine the plywood and aluminum wing spar. The
photo indicates the top of the spar. Pay close attention while
gluing it in place in the next step to be sure you glue it properly
into the wing panels.
❏
3. Apply 30 minute epoxy to the wing spar, the spar opening
in both wings and the root rib of both wings. Insert the spar
into the right wing and then slide the left wing onto the spar.
Push the wings together slowly, removing any excess epoxy as
you go. Once the wings are together clean any excess epoxy
with a paper towel and alcohol. Clamp the front of the wing
together, tape the wing and insert two wing bolts in the holes
in the trailing edge of the wing. Wrap a rubber band around
the bolts to hold everything together while the glue hardens.
❏
4. After the glue has hardened secure the wing to the
fuselage using two 1/4-20 x 2" [51mm] nylon wing bolts.
