PREPARATIONS

❏

1. If you have not done so already, carefully remove the

major parts of the kit from the box (wing, fuselage (fuse),

tail parts, etc.) and inspect them for damage. If any parts

are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the

address or telephone number listed on page 5.

❏

2. Carefully separate the ailerons from the wing, the

rudder from the ﬁ n and the elevator from the stabilizer (stab).

If necessary, use a covering iron set on medium/high to

carefully tighten the covering. Lay the control surface on

a ﬂ at surface and apply pressure over sheeted areas to

thoroughly bond the covering to the wood. Hint: Poke three

or four pin holes in the covering over the open structure in

the tail surfaces. This will allow the hot air to escape while

tightening the covering.

WARNING: DO NOT OVER-SHRINK THE COVERING OR

IT WILL CAUSE THE CONTROL SURFACES TO TWIST.

❏

3. Check the pre-cut hinge slots of all control surfaces

using a hobby knife with a #11 blade. This will help when

installing the hinges.

❏

1. Test ﬁ t the right aileron to the top wing with three 5mm

x 10mm [13/64" x 3/8"] hinges. If the hinges don't stay

centered, stick a pin through the middle of the hinges to hold

them in position while ﬁ tting the aileron to the wing.

❏

2. Remove any pins you may have inserted into the hinges.

Install the aileron so there is a very small gap between the LE of

the aileron and the wing. The gap should be small – just enough

to see light through or to slip a piece of paper through.

❏

3. Apply three drops of thin CA to the top and bottom of

each hinge. Do not use CA accelerator. After the CA has

cured, test the hinges by pulling on the ailerons.

❏

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the left aileron.
