Step 1
Tape the aileron to the wing. Make a mark 1/2"
away from the edge of the servo towards the tip
of the wing. Using a square held in alignment (90°)
with the mark and with the trailing edge, mark the
aileron with a pen where the straight edge intersects
the aileron hinge bevel.
Step 2
Measure exactly 3
3
/
8
" forward from the trailing edge
of the aileron and make another mark using a felt-
tipped pen. The intersection of the line from Step 1
and this line will be the position for the control horn.
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the second control
horn location.
Step 4
Remove the ailerons from the wing. Use rubbing
alcohol to remove any tape residue.
Step 5
Using a 5/32" drill bit and drill press, carefully drill
through the aileron at the marked position. Be
especially careful when penetrating through the top
surface of the aileron, as it’s easy to split out the
wood and rip the covering. Placing a wooden block
under the aileron and drilling slowly will prevent
these problems. If you choose to use the counter
sink screws included in the Hangar 9® Hardware
Package, counter sink the top of the aileron to allow
the screws to fit flush.
