HINGING THE FLAP
Note : e control surfaces, including the ailer-
ons, elevators, and rudder, are prehinged with
hinges installed, but the hinges are not glued in
place. It is imperative that you properly adhere
the hinges in place per the steps that follow us-
ing a high-quality thin C/A glue.
Carefully remove the aileron from one of
the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
1.
C/A Hinge
Slide the wing panel on the ap until
there is only a slight gap. e hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and ap. Re-
move the Tpins and snug the ap against
the wing panel. A gap of 1/64” or less
should be maintained between the wing
panel and ap.
2.
Remove each hinge from the wing panel
and ap and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron
until the T-pin is snug against the aileron.
is will help ensure an equal amount of
hinge is on either side of the hinge line when
the ap is mounted to the wing panel.
