HINGING THE AILERONS AND FLAPS
1.
Remove the aileron and fl ap from the wing panel. Place a
T-pin in the center of each hinge.
2.
Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5 mm) drill bit to drill
a hole in the center of each hinge slot to allow the CA
to wick into the hinge. Drill holes in both the wing and
control surfaces at this time.
3.
Slide the hinges into position with the T-pin resting
against the edge of the control surface.
4.
Fit the aileron and fl aps to the wing panel, making sure
the hinges are inserted into the hinge slots.
5.
Remove the T-pins from the hinges.

apply additional CA to secure each of the hinges.
AILERON AND FLAP CONTROL HORN INSTALLATION

control horns. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to
