5. Test fit the ailerons to the wing with the hinges. Use a
fine-point ballpoint pen to mark the wing and ailerons at the
middle of each hinge.
❏
6. Separate the ailerons from the wing and take out all
the hinges.
❏
7. Drill a 3/32" [2.4mm] hole, 1/2" [13mm] deep at the
marks you made in the center of each hinge slot. This space
will allow the CA to “wick” in. Follow with a #11 blade to clean
out the slots. Hint: If available, use a high-speed rotary tool
to drill the holes.
❏
8. Cut a small strip of covering from both sides of each
hinge slot. If this is not done the covering may interfere with
the penetration of the CA into the slot and may also interfere
with the free movement of the aileron.
❏
9. Stick a pin through the center of each hinge. Fit the
ailerons to the wing with the hinges. The pin will keep the
hinge centered. Remove the pins from the hinges. Adjust the
ailerons so there is a small gap–just enough to see light
through or to slip a piece of paper through–between the
aileron and the wing.
❏
10. 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 ailerons.
❏
1. Add servo extensions to the two aileron servos, so that
the total length of the leads will be at least 12" [305mm] from
the servo to the end of the extension. Using tape or heat shrink
tubing, securely attach the servo extension to the servo.
