7. Replace the aileron on the right wing half, ensuring
that the hinges are properly aligned. The gap between
the aileron and the wing should remain a constant
1/16 " , or as tight as possible so the movement of the
aileron is not impaired.
8. Carefully wipe off any excess epoxy using a paper
towel and rubbing alcohol.
9. Repeat the procedures above for the left wing half.
10. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding to
the next section.
