10. Apply epoxy to each hinge where it will be inserted into the
fl ap. Insert the hinges as shown in Step 6.
11. Apply epoxy to each hinge where it will be inserted into the
wing.
12. Apply epoxy into each of the holes in the wing.
13. Fit the fl ap to the wing as shown in Step 7. Check that the
fl ap can move freely and the hinges are all aligned properly.
Use low-tack tape to hold the fl ap in position until the epoxy
fully cures.
14. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any
excess epoxy before it can fully cure. Use care not to get
epoxy in the moving part of the hinge or between the fl ap and
wing. Continue once the epoxy has fully cured for both sets of
fl ap hinges.
Repeat this section for the remaining flap installation.

AILERON INSTALLATION
15. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a hole
in the center of each hinge slot. Drill the hole 1/4-inch (6mm)
deep into the wood.
16. Place a T-pin in the center of each of the three hinges.
17. Slide the hinges into position in the aileron with the T-pin
resting against the edge of the control surface. The slot in the
hinge must align with the hole drilled in the aileron.
18. Hold the aileron to the wing. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the
center of the hinges on the wing. Use a pin vise and 1/16-
inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill the holes in the wing.
19. Check the gap between the wing tip and aileron.
