Section 1

Hinging the Ailerons

Step 5. Turn the wing panel over, deflect the aileron in the
opposite direction, and apply thin CA to the other side of the
hinges as in the previous step. Make sure the thin CA penetrates
completely into both the aileron and wing panel.
Step 6. Using CA remover/debonder and a paper towel,
remove any excess CA glue that has accumulated on the wing or
aileron surface.
Step 7. Repeat Steps 1-6 for the opposite wing and aileron.
Step 8. Allowing time for both ailerons to completely dry,
firmly grasp the wing and aileron and applying medium pressure
check that they are securely attached and cannot be pulled apart.
Use caution when gripping the wing and aileron as not to crush
the structure.
Step 9. Work the aileron up and down several times to "work
in" the hinges and check for proper movement.
