Next the position of the new hinges needs to be transferred to the trailing edge of the wing.
Drill the two additional holes for the new hinge locations. As in the case of the surfaces
there is no structure in the TE of the wing at the new hinge point locations. A hard piece of
balsa to act as a doubler can be inserted through the servo bay cut out for the one hinge
point location. The additional hinge location will require the TE of the wing to be drilled to fit
a dowel rod that will hold the hinge. The rod should be a bit longer that the hinge point
section to be glued.
Glue in the dowel rod and let the adhesive fully cure before drilling the hinge point hole.
Next the control horns need to be positioned and the slot cut out for its mounting. Start by
inserting the surface into the wing. I used masking tape on the area of the surface that will
require the slot to be cut. See Photo 7
