 1. Locate the positions for the hinges. Drill a

1

/

16

-inch

(1.5mm) hole in the center of each slot of both the wing

and aileron. This creates a tunnel for the CA, allowing

the CA to penetrate into the hinge better, bonding the

hinges more securely.

 2. Slide four hinges into the slits in the aileron. Center

the slot in the hinge with the hole drilled in Step 1. Place

a T-pin in each hinge to prevent it from being pushed into

the wing when installing the aileron.

Note: Do not use CA accelerator during the hinging

process. The CA must be allowed to soak into the hinge

to provide the best bond. Using accelerator will not

provide enough time for this process.
