Assemble The Aileron Pushrods - GREAT PLANES Zero Instruction Manual

3. Insert the left wing panel into the slot. The notch at
the inside LE of the wing panel will contact the fuse when
fully seated. The TE of the wing panel must be aligned with
the center of the fuse.
❏ ❏
4. Apply a bead of CA around the joint between the
wing and the fuse on the top and bottom.
❏
5. Repeat this procedure for the right wing panel. Be
sure the aileron servo lead exits the right side of the servo
bay above the wing panel.

Assemble the Aileron Pushrods

❏
1. Enlarge the outer holes of the two control horns with a
3/64" [1.2mm] drill bit. Apply a couple drops of CA glue to the
underside of the control horn backplates. Push the control
horn tabs through the slots in the ailerons as shown.
❏
2. Press the control horn backplates onto the tabs to secure
the control horns to the ailerons. Glue the backplates to the
control horn tabs with a drop of CA.
❏
3. Locate the four 2-7/8" [73mm] pushrods and hook the
Z-bends into the outer holes of the servo horn and the outer
holes of the control horns. Slide a piece of 1" [25mm] heat-
shrink tubing onto one of the pushrods for each wing panel.
❏
4. Overlap the pushrod ends and join them with the heat-
shrink tubing. Position the ailerons in the neutral position and
tape or hold them in place. Carefully use a soldering iron to
shrink the tubing around the pushrods. Keep the iron away
from the foam and move it quickly back and forth across the
heat-shrink tubing until the pushrods are joined together tightly.
We do not suggest using a heat gun or micro torch to
shrink the tubing as this will melt the foam that is close to
the pushrods. When satisfied, apply a couple drops of CA
glue to each end of the heat-shrink tubing.
