Step 8
Locate three of the nylon flap hinges. Apply a small
amount of petroleum jelly to the hinge joint to prevent
the epoxy from preventing movement of the hinge.
Step 9
Locate the holes in the wing and flap for the flap hinges.
Remove the covering if necessary from each hole. There
will be a total of three holes each in the wing and flap.
Hint: Bevel the the edges of the
holes in the flap for a perfect fit.
Step 10
Install the hinges in the flap and slide the flap into
position. Check to make sure the flap aligns with both the
aileron and wing trailing edge. If it does not, move the
hinges in or out until the flap is in alignment.
Step 11
Use 30-minute epoxy to install the hinges. Apply epoxy
to both the holes in the flap and wing using a toothpick.
Apply a light coat of epoxy to the hinge. Slide the flap
into position, and move it up and down to make sure the
hinges are aligned. Use tape around the division between
the flap and wing, as well as the flap and aileron, to hold
the flap until the epoxy fully cures.
Note: Pacer hinge glue can be used instead
of epoxy for gluing the flap hinges.
Step 12
Repeat Steps 1 through 11 for the remaining aileron
and flap.
