Wing Dowel Installation
5.
Thread a snap-link on the end of one of the
1/16 x 7” threaded rods.
Place the snap-link in the second-from-the-
top hole on the control horn.
6.
Making sure the aileron is in neutral position,
mark where the wire meets the hole on the
servo arm.
Put a 90º bend (or a z-bend, if preferred) in
the wire, as shown above, and then attach
the wire to the servo arm with a snap nut.
Finally, put a drop of glue on the snap nut.
Repeat these steps for the other aileron.
4.
Position the control horn so that the snap
link holes are right next to the hinge line.
Using a 3/32” drill bit, make a pilot hole in
each screw location, and then mount the
control horn, using the 2-56 x 3/4” screws.
1.
Using epoxy, mount the 5/16 x 1-3/4” dowels
into the holes in the leading edge of the bot-
tom wing. Make sure to leave about 1/2” of
dowel sticking out of the front of the wing.
You may wish to slighly taper the exposed
dowel ends for ease of insertion into the fuse
holes.
Now set the bottom wing aside until later.
