PREPARATIONS
❏
1. If you have not done so already, remove the major parts
of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any parts
are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the
address or telephone number listed in the “Kit Inspection”
on the previous page.
❏
2. Carefully remove the tape and separate all the control
surfaces. Use a covering iron with a covering sock on high
heat to tighten the covering if necessary. Apply pressure over
sheeted areas to thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.
BUILD THE WING
Install the Ailerons
❏
1. Cut the included 2" x 9" [51mm x 229mm] CA hinge
strip into 3/4" x 1" [19mm x 25mm] individual hinges. Clip
the corners of each hinge to make them easier to insert into
the hinge slots.
❏ ❏
2. Drill a 3/32" [2.4mm] hole 1/2" [13mm] deep into
the center of each hinge slot in the aileron and wing panel.
Trim the covering away from each hinge slot to ensure that
the hinges will be properly glued in place.
❏ ❏
3. Test fi t a CA hinge into each of the hinge slots in the
wing panel and aileron. If necessary, enlarge the slots with
a hobby knife. When satisfi ed with the fi t, insert a CA hinge
halfway into each hinge slot in the wing panel. Push a pin
through the middle of each hinge to keep them centered.
❏ ❏
4. Join the aileron to the wing panel and remove the
pins from the hinges. Center the aileron on the wing.
❏ ❏
5. Adjust the aileron so there is a small gap between
the LE of the aileron and the wing. The gap should be small,
just enough to see light through the gap or to slip a piece of
paper through.
❏ ❏
6. Apply six drops of thin CA to the top and bottom of
each hinge without using accelerator. After the CA glue has
hardened, confi rm that the aileron is secure by pulling on it
and defl ecting it up and down.
❏
7. Repeat steps 2-6 for the other wing panel.
