Great Planes ElectriCub Kit - GPMA0156 - Manual (Page 17)

❏ ❏ 7. Position the left aileron on the trailing edge of the
wing. Mark the end of the aileron where it meets the wing
tip. Cut the aileron approximately 1/8" shorter than the mark.
This will allow the aileron to move freely after the MonoKote
®
covering is applied.
❏ ❏ 8. Position the aileron on the wing with a 1/16" gap at
each end. Mark the location of the torque rod on the aileron.
❏ ❏ 9. Use a drafting square or triangle to extend the marks
to the LE of the aileron. Mark an accurate centerline on the
entire LE of the aileron and the TE of the wing.
❏ ❏ 10. Use the centerline and the marks for the torque rod
as a guide to drill a 7/64" hole in the aileron for the torque
rod. Use the Great Planes Groove Tube or a sharpened
brass tube to cut a groove for the torque rod in the LE of the
aileron.
❏ ❏ 11. Test fit the aileron on the wing to make sure the
torque rod fits and there is approximately 1/16" clearance
between both ends of the aileron and wing.
❏ ❏ 12. Mark the location of the hinges on the aileron and
wing. Cut the hinge slots in the aileron and wing. Cut four
3/8" wide hinges from the supplied hinge strip. Insert the
hinges in the aileron and fit the aileron to the wing. Do not
glue the hinges at this time.
❏ ❏ 13. Sand the tip of the aileron to blend with the wing tip.
❏ ❏ 14. Remove the aileron from the wing. Mark the “bevel
to” lines and shape the LE of the aileron to a “V” as shown
on the plan.
❏ 15. Go back to step 7 and fit the right aileron to the wing.
