HINGING THE AILERON

Note : he control surfaces, including the ailer-
ons, elevators, and rudder, are prehinged with
hinges installed, but the hinges are not glued in
place. It is imperative that you properly adhere
the hinges in place per the steps that follow us-
ing a high-quality thin C/A glue.
Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of
the hinges.
1.
Prepare the aileron hinges by scuffing
the area that will be inserted into the
wing or flying surface with medium grit
sand paper. Be careful not to remove
too much material. Use isopropyl al-
chol, and a paper towel to remove any
excess debris that remains on the hinges.
2.
Mix a sufficient amount of 30-min-
ute epoxy in a cup, and with a tooth-
pick, smear epoxy in the hinge pockets
of the wing panel and aileron. Slowly
and carefully, insert each hinge into the
wing panel. Partially remove and re-
install the hinge to ensure that you've
completely coated it with glue. Clean up
any excess epoxy with isopropyl alco-
hol, and tape the aileron in place to cure.
