! 3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and aileron.

against the wing panel. A gap of 1/64" or less
should be maintained between the wing panel
and aileron.

! 4)Deflect the aileron and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
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:
The hinge is constructed of a special
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 paper
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
applying 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 several
times to "work in" the hinges and check
for proper movement.
