11. Locate one of the 5/64" x 6" [2mm x 150mm] wires
with a Z-bend on one end and threads on the other. Thread a
nylon clevis onto the threaded end of the wire approximately
25 turns. Slide a silicone clevis keeper retainer onto the wire
and over the clevis. Install the end of the wire with the Z-bend
into the connector on the trailing edge of one of the ailerons
on the bottom wing. Center the bottom wing aileron and the
aileron on the top wing. Adjust the clevis on the wire until it
aligns with the hole in the connector in the top aileron. Once
aligned, snap the clevis onto the connector and secure it by
sliding the silicone clevis retainer over the clevis. Repeat this
for the other wing.
