5. Cut the ailerons from the wing along the molded in cut

lines using a hobby knife with a fresh sharp blade. Using

several strokes instead of one deep cut will make a cleaner

cut. After they are cut apart, use some fine grit sandpaper to

smooth the back of the wing and the front of each aileron.

Note: The tips of the ailerons are easily damaged, so be

careful when cutting the ailerons from the wing. If you

damage the tips, or if the tips were damaged in shipping,

you can round or taper the tips at an angle. If you taper one

wing tip, make sure you taper the other the same way. This

will not affect the flying qualities of the model. If a large

section is broken, glue it together with some epoxy.

6. Enlarge the holes in both aileron control horns with a

1/16" [1.6mm] drill bit. Test fit the end of the aileron pushrod

in each hole and enlarge the hole if needed. Use the Z-bend

end of the pushrod. As long as you have the drill out, do the

same for the elevator control horn as well.

7. Cut a length of cellophane adhesive hinge tape the

length of the aileron. Stick the tape to the right aileron along

the leading edge so that it is even with the bottom of the

aileron. Press the tape down firmly into place. Fold the tape

back over itself so that it will be easier to place it on the wing.

The tape in the above photo has been darkened so that it can

be easily seen. Note: The aileron will be attached to the

wing in step 9.

8. Put a small bend 1-3/8" [35mm] from the end of a

long aileron pushrod, on the end with the Z-bend. If the

Z-bend does not have clean 90° bends, use a needle nose

pliers to adjust the bends. Connect the Z-bend end of the

pushrod to the top hole (middle hole if using two aileron

servos), of the control horn and then insert the pushrod into

the pushrod tube in the wing. Note: We are using two servos

so, connect the Z-bend to the middle hole.

9. Position the aileron onto the wing. You will not be

able to hold it in position for the entire length, so hold one

section at a time. Press the tape firmly into place on the wing.

10. Cut another length of adhesive hinge tape the

length of the aileron. Stick the tape to the top of the right
