Temporary pin
to keep the hinge
centered.
o o 6. Fit a CA hinge into each hinge slot in the
wing panel. If the hinges are difficult to install, use a
hobby knife to slightly enlarge the slots. Push a pin
(T-pins work well for this) through the middle of each
hinge to keep them centered.
o o 7. Fit the aileron to the hinges and align the root
edge of the aileron with the root of the trailing edge for
the aileron on the wing panel as shown. Remove the
pins from the hinges and position the aileron against
the trailing edge of the wing panel. The hinge gap
between the aileron and wing should only be wide
enough to allow a small line of light through. When
satisfied, apply 6 drops of thin CA glue to the center
of each hinge on both sides. When the CA has dried,
gently pull on the aileron to confirm that it is securely
glued in place.
o 8. Repeat steps 1-7 for the left wing panel.
INSTALL THE AILERON SERVO & LINKAGE
Before completing this section, confirm that the
servos that you will be using will properly fit between
the servo mounting block locations on the aileron
and flap servo hatch covers. Make adjustments as
necessary for your brand servos. The block locations
shown in this section will fit a standard size Futaba
brand servo.
o o 1. Use epoxy to glue the 3/4" x 3/4" x 5/16"
[19 x 19 x 8mm] hardwood servo mounting blocks to
the inside of the aileron hatch cover. Be sure that the
blocks are aligned over the rectangles with the grain
direction perpendicular to the covers as shown. Allow
the epoxy to cure undisturbed.
o o 2. Cut three arms from a four-armed servo arm
included with the aileron servo. Enlarge the outer hole
of the remaining arm with a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit.
