2.5 Installing the aileron horns.

Attention: Snipe wing pylon has a complex kinematics.

Installing the horn the wrong location in the depth and the

chord of the wing there can be interference with the upper

wing skin. Fig. 2.15

In order to provide clearance from the upper surface of the

wing patch stick to the pylon . Attach the patch to the upper

flat of the flaperon horn tab. Fig. 2.16

Drill a hole with a diameter of 2- 3mm in the lower surface

of the wing in the control horn, to prepare horn installation

with glue . Fig. 2.17

Clean the area around the flaperon pivot axis slot and

sandpaper for better adhesion . Fig. 2.18

Insert the Horns in the slot of the flaperon , and insert the

pivot shaft into the flaperon horn. Secure the axle in the wing

slot with superglue . Fig. 2.19 Make sure that the horn

separation matches Fig. 2.24

Set the pylon in the gap of 0.3-0.7 mm from the stop line.

Set the plane parallel to the plane of the slot hog inside the

aileron . Lock Horns with thick superglue through the hole.

Use the accelerator , but do not let the foaming superglue .

Turn the aileron carefully seal the pylon inside the aileron .

Be careful - do not pour glue joint elerona. Fig. 2.21 Kevlar -

2.22

Cut carbon tissue ( 80-120 g/m2) or two layers of

Carboline. Glue the reinforcement , alternating impregnation

CA and crimping finger through a polyethylene film. Be

careful not to use too much CA and glue pylon axis . Fig.

2.25.

(JW note: I used good epoxy for these steps rather than

CA)
