!4)Deflect the aileron and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
aileronsfront surfaceshould lightlycontact the
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 control surfaces, including the
ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are
prehinged with hinges installed, but the
hinges are not glued in place. It is
imperativethatyou properlyadhere the
hingesinplace perthesteps thatfollow
using a high-quality thin C/A glue.
!1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
!2)Removeeach hingefrom the wingpanel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron
untiltheT-pinis snugagainstthe aileron.This
will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is
oneither sideofthe hingelinewhentheaileron
is mounted to the wing panel.
HINGING THE AILERONS.
Note:
The hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick or
penetrateand distributethroughout the
hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structureofthe wingpanel andaileron.
!7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
!3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel 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
shouldbemaintained betweenthe wingpanel
andaileron.
!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,removeanyexcess C/Aglue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileronhingearea.

!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.
Note:Work the aileron up and down several
times to “work in” the hinges and check
for proper movement.
!1) Carefully remove the elevator from one
of the horizontal stabilizer panels. Note the
position of the hinges.
!2) Remove each hinge from the horizontal
stabilizerpanelandelevator andplace aT-pin
in the center of each hinge. Slide each hinge
intotheelevator untiltheT-pin is snugagainst
the elevator. This will help ensure an equal
amount of hinge is on either side of the hinge
line when the elevator is mounted to the
horizontal stabilizer panel.

stabilizer panel hinge line.
Note: The hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick or

hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structure of the horizontal stabilizer
panel and elevator.
!5) Turn the horizontal stabilizer panel over
and deflect the elevator in the opposite
directionfrom theoppositeside.Apply thinCA
glue to each hinge, making sure that the C/A
penetratesintoboththeelevatorand horizontal
stabilizer panel.
HINGING THE ELEVATORS.
!3) Slide the elevator on the horizontal
stabilizer panel until there is only a slight gap.
The hinge is now centered on the horizontal
stabilizer panel and elevator. Remove the T-
pins and snug the elevator against the
horizontal stabilizer panel. A gap of 1/64” or
less should be maintained between the
horizontal stabilizer panel and elevator.
!4)Deflect the elevator and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
elevators front surface should lightly contact
thehorizontalstabilizer duringthis procedure.

!4)Deflect the rudder and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
rudder front surface should lightly contact the
verticalfin duringthis procedure.Ideally, when
the hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or
less will be maintained throughout the lengh
of the rudder to the fuselage panel hinge line.
!1) Carefully remove the rudder from the
vertical fin. Note the position of the hinges.
!2) Placing a T-pin in the center of each
hinge. Slide each hinge into the rudder until
the T-pin is snug against the rudder. This will
help ensure an equal amount of hinge is on
eithersideof thehinge linewhenthe rudderis
mounted to the fuselage panel.
Note:
!3) Slide the rudder on the vertical fin until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the fuselage panel and rudder.
Remove the T-pins and snug the rudder
against the fuselage panel. A gap of 1/64” or
lessshouldbemaintainedbetween thevertical
fin panel and rudder.
!5)Turntheverticalfinpaneloveranddeflect
the rudder in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge,makingsurethattheC/Apenetratesinto

INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS.
Attach the string to the servo lead and
carefully thread it though the wing. Once you
havethreadtheleadthroughtthewing,remove
the string so it can use for the other servo
lead.Tapethe servoleadtothewingtoprevent
it from falling back into the wing.

Small weight.
Thread.
We recommended to use long servos
arm for all servos without throttle
servo.
Because the size of servos differ, you
may need to adjust the size of the precut
opening in the mount. The notch in the
sides of the mount allow the servo lead to
pass through.
Install the rubber grommets and brass
colletsontotheaileronservo. Testfit theservo
into the aileron servo mount.
Install the servo into the servo tray.
Using a small weight (Weighted fuel pick-up
workswell)and thread, feed thestring through
the wing as indicated.
Secure the servos with the screws pro-
vided from your radio system.

leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the
stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.
!2) Usingamodeling knife,cut onelength
ofsiliconfuel line(not included)to2-1/4” long.
Connect one end of the line to the weighted
fuelpickupand theotherend tothe nylon pick
up tube.
!4) Carefully heat the vent tube using a
heat gun or lighter to permanently set the
angle of the tube.
When the stopper assembly is installed in
the tank, the top of the vent tube should rest
justbelow thetop surfaceofthetank. Itshould
not touch the top of the tank.
