8. Place the cover on the wing. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm]
hole through each of the pre-drilled mounting holes. Remove
the cover from the wing. Install and remove a #2 x 3/8" [9mm]
sheet metal screw into each of the four holes. Insert a drop of
thin CA into the holes to harden the wood. After the glue has
hardened, install the cover with four #2 x 3/8" [9mm] sheet
metal screws and four #2 flat washers.

9. Position a nylon control horn on the aileron,
positioning it as shown in the sketch and aligning it with the
servo arm. Mark the location for the screw holes. Drill
through the marks you made with a 1/16" [1.6mm] drill bit,
drilling through the aileron. Secure the control horn to the
aileron with two 2-56 x 5/8" [16mm] machine screws and the
nylon mounting plate.
❏ ❏
10. Locate a .074" x 6" [.074" x 152mm] pushrod wire
threaded on one end. Screw a nylon clevis onto the
threaded end of the wire 20 full turns. Install a silicone clevis
keeper onto the clevis, then install the clevis in the second
hole from the end of the aileron control horn.
❏ ❏
11. Be sure the aileron servo is centered. Enlarge the
first hole in the servo arm with a Hobbico Servo Horn Drill
(or a #48 or 5/64" [2mm] drill bit). Center the aileron and
align the wire pushrod with the hole in the end of the servo
arm. Using a marker, mark the location where the wire aligns
with the hole in the servo arm. On that mark make a 90
degree bend. From the bend measure an additional 3/16"
[4.8mm] then cut off the excess pushrod wire.
❏ ❏
12. Install the wire into the hole in the servo arm using
a nylon FasLink as shown in the sketch.

13. Repeat steps 1-12 for the left wing panel

1. Locate the hardwood wing joiner. Notice that the
joiner is cut with a double taper. Test fit the joiner into both
wing halves to see exactly how it fits into the wing, making
sure that it is not too tight. Sand the joiner as needed to get
a good fit.
