4. Test fit the ailerons to the wing with the hinges. If the

hinges don’t remain centered, stick a pin through the middle
of the hinge to hold it in position.

❏ ❏

5. Remove any pins you may have inserted into the

hinges. Adjust the aileron so there is a small gap between
the LE of the aileron and the wing. The gap should be small,
just enough to see light through or to slip a piece of paper
through.

❏ ❏

6. Apply six drops of thin CA to the top and bottom of

each hinge. Do not use CA accelerator. After the CA has
fully hardened, test the hinges by pulling on the aileron.

❏ ❏

7. Repeat this procedure for installing the flap using

four CA hinges. Note that the hinge slots on the flap are not
centered as the ailerons are.

8. Find the hole for the aileron servo by feeling the

covering on the bottom of the wing. Cut the covering 1/8"
[3mm] inside the opening in the wing for the aileron servo.
Use a trim iron to seal the covering to the inner edges of the
opening. Repeat this same procedure in the opening for the
flap servo.

❏ ❏

9. On the top of the wing, cut the covering away from

the hole at the wing center-section. This hole is for the
aileron and flap servo wires to come through, into the
fuselage.

❏ ❏

10. Locate the string from inside of the aileron servo

bay and tape it to the wing. Do not pull the string out of the
wing! Do the same with the string in the flap servo bay.

11. Repeat steps 1-10 for the left wing panel.

The following steps for installing the servos may be
somewhat different from other servo installations you are

servo installation instructions to familiarize yourself with the
process before beginning the installation. Important!
Following these instructions will assure a safe and solid

1. Installing the servos in the wing will require the use

of one 24" [610mm] servo extension for the aileron.
Depending on your brand of servos you may find it
necessary to use one 6" [152mm] servo extension for each
of the flaps. Two Y-harness connectors are required and are
