An alternate method of attaching the glass tape is to lightly spray one side of the tape with a
spray adhesive (such as 3M "77"). Place the tape on the wing joint (sticky side down) and
smooth out any wrinkles. Soak the glass tape with thin C/A.
The spray adhesive simply holds the tape in place - it won't affect the strength of the C/A. A
second coat of C/A will help fill in the weave of the fiberglass, resulting in a smoother surface.
Rub the second coat with your finger (protected with a plastic wrap - keep it moving) to smooth
out the glue. Use a small fan to keep the fumes away from your face. When dry, sand lightly to
remove any rough spots while avoiding sanding into the fiberglass tape.
25. Draw shaping and center lines on the leading edge of the 5/16"x1-1/2" shaped
aileron stock as shown. Roughly carve to shape with a razor blade and finish
shaping with a sanding block.
26. Position the aileron on the back of the wing and mark the location of the aileron
torque rod.
Carefully drill into the aileron leading edge with a 3/32" dia. drill to receive the
torque rod wire.
Next cut a slot in the front of the aileron allowing the torque rod wire to fit flush.
NOTE:
Do not glue ailerons in place at this time. They will be installed during the FINAL
ASSEMBLY section.
27. Temporarily install the ailerons with masking tape.
Then finish carving and sanding the wing tip blocks to their final shape with a long
sanding block.
NOTE:
The aileron end of the wing tips should be the same thickness as the aileron
trailing edge.
28. Carefully block sand the entire wing for the final time with 150-220 grit sandpaper.
29. Using the dimensions shown in the photo, draw the exact location of the aileron
servo cutout on the bottom wing sheeting.
Using a modeling knife, carefully cut out the outlined area of sheeting.
Next, excavate the foam down out of the cavity, all the way down to the balsa top
sheeting on the opposite side. When finished, coat the entire inside of the cutout
with Kwik
-Set epoxy glue.
30. Two 1/4"x3/8"x1" basswood servo rails
have been provided for mounting the
aileron servo. Cut away the balsa wing
sheeting and epoxy glue the rails in
place.
NOTE: The dimensions of your particular
servo will determine the exact location of
the servo rails.
