5. Cut four 3/4" x 1" [19mm x 25mm] hinges from the

CA hinge strip. Snip off the corners so they go in easier.

❏ ❏

6. Test fit the ailerons to the wing with the hinges. If

the hinges do not remain centered, stick a pin through the
middle of the hinge to hold it in position.

❏ ❏

7. Remove any pins you may have inserted into the

hinges. Adjust the aileron so that 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 or to slip apiece
of paper through.

❏ ❏

8. Apply six drops of thin CA to the top and bottom of

each hinge. Do not use CA accelerator. After the CA has
fully hardened, test the hinges by pulling on the aileron.

❏ ❏

9. Locate the right aileron servo’s cover. Find the

aileron's servo opening on the bottom surface of the wing
(fourth bay in from the wing tip). Cut out the covering 1/8"
[3mm] inside the opening. Use a trim iron to seal the
covering around the edges of the opening.

❏ ❏

10. Trial fit the aileron servo cover. It should fit snugly.

Drill four 1/16" [1.6mm] holes on the corners of the aileron
servo cover through the wing's structure. Use four #2 x 3/8"
[9.5mm] screws to hold the aileron servo cover in place.
Make sure the slot for the servo arm is nearest the wing tip.

❏ ❏

11. Take the aileron servo cover off and wick some

thin CA into the screw holes both in the wing's structure and
in the servo covers.
