2)Removeeachhinge from thewingpanel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing
panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing
panel. This will help ensure an equal amount
ofhingeis on eithersideofthe hinge linewhen
the aileron is mounted to the aileron.
The control surfaces, including the
ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are
prehinged with hinges installed, but the
hinges are not glued in place. It is
imperativethatyouproperlyadherethe
hingesinplaceperthestepsthatfollow
using a high-quality thin C/A glue.

3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and aileron.
Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron
against the wing panel.Agap of 1/64” or less

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.

4) Deflect the aileron and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
aileronsfrontsurface should lightlycontactthe
wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the
hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less
will be maintained throughout the lengh of the
aileron to the wing panel hinge line.
Thehingeis constructedofa special
material that allows the C/A to wick
or penetrate and distribute
throughout the hinge, securely
bonding it to the wood structure of
the wing panel and aileron.

WING ASSEMBLY.
8)Afterboth ailerons are securely hinged,
firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to
make sure the hinges are securely glued and
cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully
applying medium pressure, trying to separate
the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution
not to crush the wing structure.
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a
papertowel,removeanyexcess C/A glue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileronhingearea.
5)Turn the wing paneloveranddeflectthe
aileron in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge,making surethatthe C/Apenetratesinto
both the aileron and wing panel.
Workthe aileronupand downseveral
times to “work in” the hinges and
check for proper movement.
Note:
HINGING THE ELEVATOR.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the
same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.
HINGING THE RUDDER.
Glue the rudder hinges in place using the
same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

perpendicular to the servo center line.
9) Move the throttle stick to the closed position
and move the carburetor to closed. Use a 2.5mm
hex wrench to tighten the screw that secures
the throttle pushrod wire. Make sure to use
threadlock on the screw so it does not vibrate
loose.
4) On the fire wall has the location for the
throttle pusshrod tube (pre-drill).
7) Slide the throttle pushrod wire into the tube.
Position the engine between the mounts. Use
four M4x30mm machine screws to secure the
engine to the mount as shown.
5) Slide the pushrod tube in the firewall and
guide it through the fuel tank mount. Use
medium C/A to glue the tube to the firewall and
the fuel tank mount.
6) Connect the Z-bend in the 450mm throttle
pushrod to the outer hole of the carburetor arm.
