Instruction Manual.

Work the aileron up and down several

times to “work in” the hinges and check

for proper movement.

Note :

HINGING THE AILERON

Note : e control surfaces, including the ailerons,

elevators, and rudder, are prehinged with hinges in-

stalled, but the hinges are not glued in place. It is

imperative that you properly adhere the hinges in

place per the steps that follow using a high-quality

thin C/A glue.

- Carefully remove the aileron from one of the

wing panels. Note the position of the hinges.

- Remove each hinge from the wing panel and ai-

leron and place a T-pin in the center of each hinge.

Slide each hinge into the wing panel until the T-pin

is snug against the wing panel. is will help en-

sure an equal amount of hinge is on either side of

the hinge line when the aileron is mounted to the

aileron.

- Slide the wing panel on the aileron until there is

only a slight gap. e hinge is now centered on the

wing panel and aileron. Remove the T-pins and

snug the aileron against the wing panel. A gap of

1/64” or less should be maintained between the

wing panel and aileron.

NOTE : e hinge is constructed of a special

material that allows the C/A to wick or penetrate

and distribute throughout the hinge, secure-

ly bonding it to the wood structure of the wing

panel and aileron.

- Deect the aileron and completely saturate each

hinge with thin C/A glue. e ailerons front surface

should lightly contact the wing during this proce-

dure. Ideally, when the hinges are glued in place, a

1/64” gap or less will be maintained throughout the

lengh of the aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

- Turn the wing panel over and deect the aileron

in the opposite direction from the opposite side.

Apply thin C/A glue to each hinge, making sure

that the C/A penetrates into both the aileron and

wing panel.
