WING ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

AILERON and Flap INSTALLATION

1.

Collect the following parts:

(1) Left and right wing

(1) Left and right aileron

(1) Left and right flap

(14) CA hinge

2.

Locate the pre-cut aileron and flap hinge

slots in both wing halves. 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.

3.

Place a straight pin into the center of each of

the four CA hinges.

Slide each hinge into the hinge slots on one

of the wing halves. The pin will prevent the

hinges from going in further than halfway into

the wing.

4.

Select the aileron for the wing on which you

are working and insert the exposed half of

each hinge into the aileron slots.

Slide the aileron toward the wing until no gap

remains between the aileron and the wing.

Install the flap in the same manner. Align the

stripes on the wing and make sure the

aileron clears the tip and the flap.

5.

When satisfied with the alignment, remove

the straight pins, being sure to keep the

aileron and flap tight to the wing. You may

wish to apply a few pieces of masking tape to

keep the pieces in place.

6.

Keeping the aileron, flap, and wing in posi-

tion, apply 3 or 4 drops of thin CA to the small

exposed area of each hinge.

Turn the assembly over and again apply 3 or

4 drops of CA to the exposed hinge surfaces.

Allow to dry for 10 minutes before flexing the

aileron.

7.

Repeat the above steps for the other half of

the wing and each flap.
