1. If you have not done so already, remove the major
parts of the kit from the box (wings, fuse, cowl, tail parts,
etc.) and inspect them for damage. If any parts are damaged
or missing, contact Product Support at the address or
telephone number listed on page 6.
❏
2. Remove the masking tape and separate the ailerons
from the wing, the rudder from the fin and the elevators
from the stab. Tighten the covering with a covering iron on
high heat with a covering sock. Apply pressure over sheeted
areas to thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.
❏ ❏
1. Drill a 3/32" [2.4mm] hole, 1/2" [13mm] deep in the
center of each hinge slot to allow the CA to “wick” in. Follow-up
with a #11 blade to clean-out the slots. Hint: If you have one,
use a high-speed rotary tool to drill the holes.
❏ ❏
2. Use a sharp #11 blade to cut a strip of covering
from the aileron hinge slots in both halves of the Bottom
Wing and ailerons.
❏
3. Cut fourteen 3/4" x 1" [19mm x 25mm] hinges from the
CA hinge strip. Snip off the corners as shown so they go in
easier. Insert three of the hinges into the aileron hinge slots.
❏ ❏
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 just small
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. 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 edges of the opening.
