Installing Ailerons & Flaps

1.

*

Collect the following parts:

(1) Wing

(2) Ailerons ( Left & Right)

(2) Flaps ( Left & Right)

(10) Mini CA hinges

1.

*

Locate the pre-cut aileron and flap hinge slots

in both sides of the wing. Using a hobby knife

(#11 blade), slide the blade into each slot to

make sure it is cleanly cut.

*

Repeat this process with the ailerons and

flaps, making sure all hinge slots are clean.

2.

*

Find the control horn slot near one end of the

aileron.

*

Align the slot in the aileron with the servo hole

in the wing.

*

Insert the mini CA hinges half way into the

wing and the ailerons. (Use a pin inserted into

the middle of the hinge to help keep the hinge

in the middle.)

*

Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the flap.

*

Make sure that the aileron is tight against the

wing and even with the wing tip.

*

Insert a piece of thin card board stock

between the flap and aileron to allow a space

for movement.

*

Using thin CA glue, place one drop on all

hinges top and bottom.

1.

*

Gather the following items:

(2) 6" Servo Extension wires
(2) 12" Servo Extension wires
(1) Wing
(4) Servos
(1) Electrical tape

2.

*

Plug one 12" extension wire into a aileron

servo.

IMPORTANT! To ensure that any connections located

inside the wing will not come loose, either when the

wires are pulled, or during flying, always tape them

securely together with electrical tape.

Servo Extensions

3.

*

Tie or tape the aileron extension wire end to

the string that is exiting the outer aileron servo

hole in the bottom of the wing.

*

Push the extension in the servo hole, SLOW-

LY pull until the end of the 12" extension

comes out of the hole in the center of the

wing.

*

Tape the extension securely to the wing, so

that it will not slide back in while you are work-

ing.

*

Mount the aileron servo using the hardware

provided by the radio manufacture.

4.

*

Repeat steps 2 & 3 for the other aileron servo.

5.

*

Using the 6” servo extensions, tape the

extensions to the flap servos and pull the

extensions to the center of the wing just like

you did the aileron servos.
