4) Deflect the aileron and completely satu-
rate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The ailer-
ons front surface should lightly contact the
wing during this procedure. Ideally, when
the hinges are glued in place, a 1/64" gap or
less will be maintained throughout the lengh
of the aileron to the wing panel hinge line.
NOTE : The hinge is constructed of a spe-
cial material that allows the C/A to wick
or penetrate and distribute throughout
the hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structure of the wing panel and aileron.

5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the
aileron in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge, making sure that the C/A penetrates
into both the aileron and wing panel.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a pa-
per towel, remove any excess C/A glue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileron hinge area.
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

8) After both ailerons are securely hinged,
firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to
make sure the hinges are securely glued and
cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully ap-
plying medium pressure, trying to separate
the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution
not to crush the wing structure.
Note : Work the aileron up and down sev-
eral times to "work in" the hinges
and check for proper movement.
