1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

2)Remove eachhinge fromthe wingpanel

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 eithersideof the hingelinewhen

the aileron is mounted to the aileron.

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.A gap of 1/64” or less

shouldbe maintainedbetween the wingpanel

andaileron.

The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are

prehinged with hinges installed, but the

hinges are not glued in place. It is

imperativethat youproperly adherethe

hingesin placeper thesteps thatfollow

using a high-quality thin C/A glue.

Note:

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.

Note: The hinge is constructed of a special

material that allows the C/A to wick or

penetrateanddistribute throughoutthe

hinge, securely bonding it to the wood

structureof thewingpanel andaileron.

To avoid scratching your new aero-

plane we suggest that you cover your work-

benchwith anold towel. Keep a coupleof jars

orbowlshandytoholdthesmallpartsafteryou

open the bags.

NOTE:

HINGING THE AILERONS.

5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge,makingsurethattheC/Apenetratesinto

both the aileron and wing panel.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

papertowel, remove anyexcess C/Aglue that

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileronhinge area.

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.

8)After both 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.

HINGING THE RUDDER.

Glue the elevator hinges in place using the

same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.

Glue the rudder hinges in place using the

same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.

Work the aileron up and down several

times to “work in” the hinges and check

for proper movement.

2) Usinga modelingknife, cutone length

ofsilicon fuel line. Connectone endofthe line

tothe weightedfuel pickup and theother end

to the nylon pick up tube.(The silicon tube is

not included).

3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube

up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.

1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut

off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes

leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the

stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.

4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the

tank. It may be necessary to remove some of

the flashing around the tank opening using a

modeling knife. If flashing is present, make

sure none falls into the tank.

5) With the stopper assembly in place,

the weighted pick-up should rest away from

therear of thetank and movefreely inside the

tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just

below the top of the tank. It should not touch

the top of the tank.

Important: When the stopper assembly is in-

stalled in the tank, the top of the vent tube

should rest just below the top surface of the

tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.

Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to

permenently set the angle of the vent tube.

6) When satisfied with the alignment of

the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm

machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-

pands and seals the tank opening. Do not

overtighten the assembly as this could cause

the tank to split.

FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.

You should mark which tube is the vent

and which is the fuel pickup when you

attach fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper.

Once the tank is installed inside the fuselage,

it may be difficult to determine which is which.
