Flap and aileron
attachment
Except for the very first kits, the flaps
and ailerons have all hard points
installed, where the control horns, ball
links and sliding connecting tabs are
mounted.
The most important task is that you
align ailerons and flaps when the
outer wing panels and the center wing
are joined, before you finally glue the
flap offset hinges and the aileron
hinge posts in.
The ailerons had a set of hinge posts
installed in the factory, to make sure
that the critical hinge axis is placed
correctly, also that the hinge posts can
move freely in the cutouts. Mark the
hinge post positions to the aileron
spar of the outer wing panel and mill
3 slots (3mm wide).
Do not yet glue at this point.
