Hook Up The Ailerons - GREAT PLANES Pete'n Poke Sport 40 Instruction Manual

❏ ❏
4. Use thin or medium CA to glue the aileron base to
the aileron LE. Glue four die-cut 1/8" balsa aileron ribs W7
to the aileron base and the aileron LE.
❏ ❏
5. Remove the clamps (if you've used any) and T-pins
that will get in the way of sanding, but leave the aileron and
wing pinned down. Sand the top of the aileron LE and the
aileron ribs to match the wing.
❏ ❏
6. Remove the aileron and the wing from the plan. Cut
six 1-1/2"-long hinge blocks from leftover 1/4" x 1/4" balsa
sticks and glue them to the outer TE and the aileron LE
where shown on the plan. Make certain the hinge blocks are
centered vertically.
❏ ❏
7. Mark a centerline on the LE of the aileron and on
the outer TE of the wing. Cut the hinge slots and temporarily
join the aileron to the wing with the hinges. Make
adjustments to the hinge slots where necessary, so the
hinge slots align and the aileron aligns with the wing.
❏ ❏
8. Trim the hinge block, then glue the die-cut 1/8" plywood
control horn plate to the aileron base and the aileron LE
(you can see the control horn plate in the following photo).
❏ ❏
9. Use a razor plane or a bar sander with 80-grit sandpaper
to sand a bevel on the leading edge of the aileron.
You may go back and build the left aileron now, or proceed
and hook up the servo first.

Hook Up the Ailerons

❏ ❏
1. Test fit the aileron servo in the die-cut 1/8" plywood
aileron servo tray. If necessary, make adjustments so the
servo will fit.
❏ ❏
2. Glue two leftover 1/4" x 1/2" balsa sticks to the outer
and aft edge of the servo tray. (The photo shows the right
servo tray. If this is your second time through, be certain you
are building the left servo tray.)
❏ ❏
3. Turn the aileron servo tray over. Glue strips of leftover
1/8" ply across the top to give the servo mounting screws
something more to "bite" into.
❏ ❏
4. Glue the aileron servo tray into position as shown.
Glue an additional strip of leftover 1/4" x 1/4" balsa to the
side of rib W4. Drill 1/16" holes for the servo screws, then
mount the aileron servo to the tray with the screws that
came with it.
