each hinge, before installing This pin will keep the hinge
centered while installing the control surface Remove the
pins before proceeding.
F. Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of
each hinge, allowing a few seconds between drops for
the CA to wick into the slot Note that the small tunnels"
you created by drilling the 3/32" holes allow the CA to
freely travel in to the entire surface of the hinge,
producing an extremely secure bond
wheel collar into position, then seat the outer wheel pant
