D 5. Glue the torque rods into the grooves in the
center TE pieces. Make sure you install the left
torque rod in the left TE piece.
D 9. Drill a 7/64" hole in the ailerons at the torque
rod locations, starting at the LE centerline and
drilling straight in approximately 1-1/8". The hole is
drilled slightly oversize to allow for positioning, and
to create a hard epoxy "sleeve" around the wire.
D 6. Glue the center TE'S to the wing. It is very
important that they are aligned correctly with the
chord line of the airfoil. Do not allow them to tilt up
or down, and make sure the threaded part of the
torque rods are on the top of the wing.
D 10. Use a sharpened 1/8" diameter brass tube
to cut a groove in the leading edge of the ailerons
to accept the torque rods.
D 11. Lay the ailerons on the plan, and mark the
hinge locations on each aileron. Trial fit the
ailerons in place on the torque rods, and transfer
the hinge marks over the wing TE.
D 12. Cut the hinge slots in the ailerons and the
wing TE following the hinge slotting guidelines on
page 10.
D 7. Cut the ailerons from the 17/32" shaped
balsa aileron stock. They should be 21" long. Draw
a center line down each aileron, and bevel the
front edge to a "V" shape as shown on the plans.
D 8. Hold the ailerons in place approximately
1/16" away from the center TE pieces with the
torque rods resting on top of the ailerons. Mark the
torque rod locations on the top of the ailerons.
D 13. Insert the hinges into the slots, and trial fit the
ailerons in place on the wing. Do not glue the hinges
in place until after the wing is covered. Tape the
ailerons to the center TE pieces to keep them aligned.
D 14. Glue on the remaining pieces of aileron stock
at each tip. They should be positioned approximately
