Section 1: Assembling the Wings
Step 6. Mix a small amount of 30-minute epoxy to install the
aileron onto the wing half. Apply epoxy to the top and bottom of
the remaining half of each hinge, as well as the aileron torque
rod hole. Using either a mixing stick or a piece of scrap wood,
apply epoxy inside each hinge slot on the wing.
Step 7. Replace the aileron on the right wing half. Make sure
the hinges are properly aligned and that the aileron torque rod
presses into its respective hole in the aileron. The use of a piece
of wax paper between the torque rod and wing will prevent epoxy
from adhering to the wing. The gap between the aileron and the
wing should remain a constant 1/16'', or as tight as possible
without restricting the movement of the aileron.
Step 8. Carefully wipe off any excess epoxy using a paper towel
and rubbing alcohol.
Step 9. Repeat the procedures above for the left wing half.
Step 10. Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding to the next
section.
