Section 1: Hinging the Ailerons
Parts Needed
• Right wing panel w/aileron
• Left wing panel w/aileron
• CA hinges (8)
Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Thin CA
• CA remover/debonder
• 6-minute epoxy
• Masking tape
• T-pins
• Rubbing alcohol
• Paper towels
Note: The photos and instructions in this section are for
the right wing panel. Repeat the same steps to hinge the
aileron on the left wing panel.
Step 1
Locate the right wing panel and remove the aileron. Note that the
leading edge of the aileron has a hole at one end that slides onto
the aileron torque rod already installed in the wing panel.
Step 2
Locate the CA hinges required for the aileron. Place a T-pin in the
center of each hinge and slide them into the precut hinge slots of
the wings trailing edge as shown.
Step 3
Trial fit the aileron to the wing; make sure there is no more than
1/32" gap along the hinge line. Once satisfied with the fit, remove
the aileron.
Step 4
Mix approximately 1/4 ounce of 6-minute epoxy. Using a tooth-
pick, apply the epoxy to the inside of the hole in the aileron. Slide
the aileron onto the torque rod and hinges, being careful not to
get any epoxy into the torque rod tube. Wipe away any excess
epoxy with rubbing alcohol and paper towels. Remove the T-pins
and push the aileron completely against the wing trailing edge.
Use masking tape to hold the aileron in place until the epoxy
completely cures.
