Section 9: Engine Installation - Model Tech SE5a SCOUT Instructions For Final Assembly

IMPORTANT After the C/A has fully cured, gently grasp the aileron and wing and pull on the aileron like you are
trying to pull out the hinges. The hinges should hold securely. If one or more hinge(s) feels loose, apply more C/A to the
hinge(s) and allow it to completely cure.
Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the remaining three ailerons to the top and bottom wings, making sure to
check the integrity of the hinges after the C/A fully cures.
STEP 2: HINGING THE ELEVATOR & THE RUDDER
IMPORTANT After the C/A has fully cured, double-check the integrity of the hinges. The hinges should hold
securely. If one or more hinge(s) feels loose, apply more C/A to the hinge(s) and allow it to completely cure.

Remove the T-pins from the hinges, and while holding the
aileron tight against the wing, pivot the aileron down about
45º and apply 5-6 drops of thin C/A to the exposed area of
each hinge. Turn the wing over and repeat for the other side of
the hinges.
Remove any C/A that may run down the hinge line, using
C/A Debonder.
Allow the C/A to dry for about 15 minutes, then pivot the
aileron up and down several times to free up the hinges.
IMPORTANT The elevator must be hinged before the
rudder. If you hinge the rudder first, it will be impossible to
hinge the elevator.
Hinge the elevator and the rudder, using the same techniques
as you used to hinge the ailerons. The elevator is hinged
using four hinges and the rudder is hinged using three hinges.
You must cut away and remove the covering material from over
the precut notch in the leading edge of the rudder before hinging
it into place. The notch is located 1-7/8" up from the bottom of
the rudder, at the leading edge.
