Section 4-Preparation and Installation of Hinges
Required Tools and Adhesive
• Xacto knife, #11 Blade
• Lithium grease/Petroleum Jelly
• Toothpicks
• Pacer hinge glue (PT-55)
The hinge slots are already cut in the balsa at all hinge locations on both the
fixed surfaces and the moveable surfaces. However, they are covered up with
the covering film so they may be a little difficult to see and locate. Look closely
and you will find the hinge slots. Run your finger along the edge where the
hinges are located. You should feel a little depression in the film at each hinge
slot under the film.
Number of slots and hinges per control surface are as follows:
Aileron 9
Elevator 4
Rudder 4
14
