❏❏10. Mix up some 30-minute epoxy and
microballoons (if using mixing cups, approximately 1/4 oz. of microballoons added to 1/8 oz. of mixed epoxy is recommended). Use a piece of music wire to thoroughly apply the mixture in the holes in the wing and aileron. Use the wire to get the epoxy out of the opening of the holes in the aileron so it doesn’t get into the hinge pins. Wipe away any epoxy around the outside of the holes with a couple of the small paper towel squares.
❏❏11. Use the wire to apply epoxy to the ends of
the aileron hinges that go into the aileron. Insert each hinge and wipe away any epoxy that squeezes out of the holes.
❏❏12. Apply epoxy to the other end of the hinges.
Join the aileron to the wing, pushing the hinges only about 3/4 of the way in. Use small strips of balsa or toothpicks to wipe away epoxy that squeezes out, then fit the aileron the rest of the way in.
❏❏13. Move the aileron up and down a few times
to align the hinges and make certain you are getting enough deflection. Use a small piece of masking tape to hold the tip of the aileron in alignment with the tip of the wing. Allow the epoxy to fully harden.
❏❏14. Mix up another batch of epoxy and microballoons
and join the flap to the wing the same way.
❏❏15. Allow the epoxy to fully harden before
moving the aileron or flap. After the epoxy has fully hardened, “break” them loose by rapidly moving them up and down a couple of times.
❏ 16. Join the right aileron and flap to the right wing
the same way.
Mount the servos ❏❏1. Use a straightedge and a hobby knife to cut
the covering approximately 1/4" [5mm] inside the edges of one of the openings for the servo hatch in the bottom of one of the wing halves. (You can save the piece of MonoKote you cut out for small patches or repairs.)
❏❏2. Slit the covering up to the corners (indicated
by the arrows).
❏❏3. Cut the remaining three servo hatch openings the same way. ❏❏4. Use a trim iron to iron the covering to the edges
of the openings and to the plywood ledge inside.
