23. T
ie the open female end of each extension to the preinstalled string
a
t each of the aileron servo openings in the top wing panels. Guide
the end of each extension to the root rib of each wing panel [13:11].
24. Using the servo manufacturer’s hardware, mount the aileron servos
with their output shafts furthest away from the aileron hinge-line.
25. Secure the aileron hinges to the ailerons with a few drops of thin CA adhesive applied at both
sides of each hinge, but do not attach the ailerons to the wing panels at this time. Using the
precut hole in each aileron, attach one(1) aileron-control-horn assembly (with its control horn
on the bottom of the aileron) to each aileron [13:54].
26. Test-fit the aileron wing wire’s plywood mounts in their precut slot in each aileron: Position
the plywood mounts so they ‘lean’ toward the front of the airplane
and center the mounts within their slot so that each fits against the opposite mount’s
base. Temporarily tack-glue the plywood mounts in position, and test-fit a pair of
65 mm (2 9/16-inch) aileron cable tubes over each set of plywood mounts. If necessary,
adjust the plywood mount(s). When the mounts are correctly positioned, use CA
adhesive to permanently secure them in their slots [15:00].
27. With the shanks of 12 mm (7/16-inch) bolts
pointing toward the fuselage, insert and push
two(2) bolts per aileron cable tube and plywood
mount; secure with self-locking nuts [16:45].
28. Starting at the bottom of either aileron, thread
approx. 75% of one 160 cm (63-inch) aileron
wire up through the small predrilled hole nearest
the wing tip on the aileron’s trailing edge. Insert
the end of the wire now emerging from the top of
the aileron behind and into the top aileron-cable
tube’s hole furthest from the wing tip.
Pass the wire through the aileron-cable tube and out
the hole nearest the wing tip; guide the wire behind
the aileron-cable tube
and thread the wire into the small predrilled hole
nearest the fuselage on the aileron’s trailing edge
[17:08].
29. With both the wire’s ends projecting down from
the bottom of the aileron, guide the wire’s ends behind the lower aileron-cable
tube and insert each of the wire’s ends into opposing holes in the aileron-cable
tube. Pull both of the wire’s ends out through the center of the aileron-cable
tube. Tighten the wire evenly across the top and bottom of the aileron. Using a
crimp tube and long-nosed pliers, secure the tightened wire’s ends within the
crimp tube and inside the lower aileron-cable tube [17:47].
30. Repeat steps 28 and 29 to install an aileron wing wire on the remaining aileron.
31. Slide the aileron’s hinges into the upper wing-panels’ slots. Secure each hinge
with CA adhesive. Install the aileron pushrods so each aileron is set to neutral
when its aileron servo is centered [20:09]. Set aside the upper wing panels.
