Remove each hinge from the wing panel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center
of each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing
panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing
panel. his will help ensure an equal amount
of hinge is on either side of the hinge line
when the aileron is mounted to the aileron.

Slide the wing panel on the aileron until
there is only a slight gap. he hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and aileron.
Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron
against the wing panel. A gap of 1/64" or
less should be maintained between the
wing panel and aileron.
Delect the aileron and completely saturate
each hinge with thin C/A glue. he ailerons
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 : he 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.

Turn the wing panel over and delect 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.
Using C/A remover/debonder and a paper
towel, remove any excess C/A glue that may
have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileron hinge area.
Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
