Section 1: Assembling the Wing Conventional Aileron Parts Needed • Right wing panel with aileron and hinges • Left wing panel with aileron and hinges Tools and Adhesives Needed • Instant thin CA glue • CA remover/debonder • Paper towels • T-pins (one for each hinge) • Sealing iron Before construction begins, decide what style of wing is desired (conventional or quad flap) and what type of engine will be mounted on the model. The conventional aileron wing will be presented in this section.
Section 1: Assembling the Wing CONTINUED Step 5. Turn the wing panel over and deflect the aileron in the opposite direction from the opposite side. Apply thin CA glue to each aileron hinge, making sure the CA penetrates into both the aileron and the wing. Step 6. Using CA remover/debonder and a paper towel, remove any excess CA glue that may have accumulated on the wing or in the aileron hinge area. 8 Step 7. Repeat this process with the other wing panel, securely hinging the aileron in place. Step 8.
Section 1: Assembling the Wing CONTINUED Sealing the Hinge Gaps Although not mandatory, it is always a good practice to seal the hinge gap of the aileron control surfaces. Sealing the hinge line has several advantages. A sealed hinge line gives a greater control response for a given control deflection. It also offers more precise, consistent control response and makes trimming the aircraft during flight easier. Step 11.
Section 1a: Assembling the Wing Quad Flap Wing Parts Needed • Right wing panel with aileron and hinges • Left wing panel with aileron and hinges • Right wing aileron/flap • Left wing aileron/flap Tools and Adhesives Needed • Instant thin CA glue • CA remover/debonder • Paper towels • T-pins (one for each hinge) Note: The procedure for hinging the flap/aileron in each wing panel is the same as described for the conventional wing. Step 1a.
Section 1a: Assembling the Wing CONTINUED Step 6a. Using CA remover/debonder and a paper towel, remove any excess CA glue that may have accumulated on the wing or the aileron. Step 7a. Repeat Steps 4a through 6a for the flap control surface. Step 10a. To seal the aileron and flap hinge line, cut a piece of White UltraCote® (GBG870, not included) approximately 3" wide to the length of each hinge line.
Section 1a: Assembling the Wing CONTINUED Step 12a. With the piece of covering still folded, use a hobby knife with a sharp #11 blade and a straight edge to carefully cut the entire length of the covering at the marks you made in the previous step. Step 13a. Remove the backing from the covering. Place the folded crease into the center of the hinge line on the bottom of the wing. Using a straight edge, hold one side of the covering in place while ironing down the opposite side with a sealing iron.

Apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of the other wing panel. Note: Use wax paper underneath the wing center while the epoxy is curing. With the wing lying flat on a surface without any dihedral, apply more masking tape to the wing center joint and recheck that the wing remains flat. Also make sure the wing halves are properly aligned.
Section 3: Installing the Aileron/Flap Servos Parts Needed Tools and Adhesives Needed • Assembled wing • Standard servos with mounting hardware (2) (4 for quad/flap configuration) Note: The flap servo must be reversed if using a Y-harness for flaps • Servo extension -12" (2) (4 for quad-flap configuration wing) • Hobby knife • Medium Phillips screwdriver • Drill • Drill Bit: 1/16" • Masking tape • Pencil • String with weight on end • Needle-nose pliers Step 1.
Section 3: Installing Aileron/Flap Servos CONTINUED Step 7. Before mounting the servos in the wing, it’s suggested the servo extensions be run through the wing and out the opening near the root rib. Step 11. Tape the lead to the wing to keep it from falling back into the opening. It may be easier if you thread one servo lead at a time. Step 8. Locate the two servo lead exits (oval-shaped) near the center of the wing bottom.
Section 4: Bolting the Wing to the Fuselage Parts Needed • Fuselage • Wing • Leading edge wing dowels • Wing-bolt plate • Wing bolts Tools and Adhesives Needed • Drill • Drill Bit: 1/4" • Hobby knife • Round file • Flat screwdriver Note: Your Hangar 9™ Ultra Stick™ 40 comes from the factory with two predrilled holes in the leading edge of the wing for the alignment dowels. You will have to drill out the two bolt holes in the trailing edge of the wing.
Section 4: Bolting the Wing to the Fuselage Step 5. With the wing centered check the alignment by measuring from each wing tip to the rear of the fuselage. Be sure to use the same point on each wing tip exactly the same distance on each side from the center of the wing. Refer to the figure below. Step 6. With the wing centered and aligned to the fuselage, mark the wing exactly in line with the sides of the fuselage. Step 7. Remove the wing from the fuselage.
Section 4: Bolting the Wing to the Fuselage CONTINUED Step 11. Using a 1/4" drill bit, carefully drill through the wing at the indents in the bottom of the wing. Be careful when the drill bit exits the top of the wing that you do not tear the covering. Note: When you drill the wing bolt holes, be sure to drill the holes perpendicular to the top surface of the wing. Step 12. After you have drilled the wing for the wing bolts, trial fit the wing into position on the fuselage.
Section 4: Bolting the Wing to the Fuselage CONTINUED Step 15. Install the wing back onto the fuselage and gently snug the wing bolts, securing the wing to the fuselage. Mark the wing bolt plate location on top of the wing. Remove the wing bolts and plate from the wing. Step 16. Using a hobby knife, carefully trim away the covering on the wing just inside the lines you marked for the wing bolt plate. Be sure to avoid cutting into the balsa wood. 20 Step 17.

Locate the elevator and CA hinges. Hinge the elevator in the proper position on the horizontal stabilizer using the same hinging technique used in Section 1. Remember to remove the T-pins before applying the CA glue. Also, make sure the tail wheel is free to move its full range.
Section 8: Hinging the Horizontal Stabilizer and Elevator CONTINUED Step 6. Measure 3/8" for the folded crease out. Make several marks along the length of the folded covering. Step 8. Remove the backing from the covering. Place the folded crease into the center of the hinge line on the bottom of the horizontal stabilizer. Using a straight edge, hold one side of the covering in place while ironing down the opposite side with a sealing iron. Step 7.
Section 9: Installing the Rudder and Elevator Control Horns Parts Needed • Control horns (2) • Control horn backplates (2) • Control horn screws (6) • Fuselage Important: When installing the control horns, it’s important that the holes in the control horns where the pushrod attaches are directly in line with the control surface hinge line. Step 1. To locate the elevator control horn position, measure over 5/8" on the right side of the horizontal stabilizer along the fuselage.
Section 9: Installing the Rudder and Elevator Control Horns CONTINUED Step 5. Measure 3/4" from the top of the fuselage on the left side of the rudder. Mark the location with a felt-tipped pen or pencil. This mark will serve as the center for the rudder control horn. Step 7. Drill these holes with a 1/16" drill bit and install the rudder control horn using the screws and backplate provided. Note: Be sure that this will place the horn so the screws are on either side of the tail wheel wire in the rudder.

Install the easy connector to the throttle servo arm by inserting the bottom post through the second hole from the end in the servo arm. Install the snap washer on the easy connector stem securing it to the servo arm. Step 14.
Section 16: Control Throw Recommendations The following control throw recommendations offer positive response when using the aileron-only configuration and are a good place to begin setting up the aircraft. After you have become more familiar with the flight characteristics of the Ultra Stick 40, adjust the control throws to meet your flying style.
Section 18: Quad Flaps The quad flap option allows your Ultra Stick™ 40 to perform in ways that are just not possible with the conventional aileronsonly setup. With the quad flaps and a computer radio, different wing configurations can be programmed to extend the flight performance envelope. Plus, it’s a great way to learn more about your computer radio. Some of these configurations include: Crow Dive Brakes to Landing On your first attempts to do the Harrier, start high.
Section 18: Quad Flaps What does elevator-to-flap do? Elevator-to-flap mixing causes more aggressive pitching when elevator is applied, making for tighter inside and outside loops. Using the recommended throws, the Ultra Stick™ 40 is capable of very tight 15-foot diameter loops. First flight profile It’s a good idea to start up high then turn on the elevator-to-flap mixing to get accustomed to the increased pitch (elevator) sensitivity.
Section 19: Programming Guide Following is a programming guide that provides step-by-step illustrations on how to program quad flap configurations for JR’s XP652/642, XP783/347/388S, XP8103, and 10X/10SxII/10Sx radios, as well as for Futaba’s 8-channel 8UA/S radio. Once you understand your computer radio, you’ll soon discover that there are many other possible programming configurations (e.g., right rudder causes the right aileron to go up and the right flap to go down, causing a severe right yaw).
