HINGING THE AILERON.
e control surfaces, including the ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are prehinged with hinges in stalled, but the
hinges are not glued in place. It is imperative that you properly adhere the
hinges in place per the steps that follow using a high-quality thin C/A glue.
Note :
1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
2) Remove each hinge from the wing panel
and aileron 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 aileron is mounted to the wing panel.
3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until
there is only a slight gap. e hinge is nowcentered 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 should
be maintained between the wing panel and
aileron.
T-pin
Hinge.
4) Deect the aileron and completely saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. e ailerons front surface should lightly contact 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.
e hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick
or penetrate and distribute
throughout the hinge, securely
bonding it to the wood structure of
the wing panel and aileron.
Note :

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.
5) Turn the wing panel over and deect the
aileron in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge, making sure that the C/A penetrates into both the aileron and wing panel.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a paper towel, remove any excess C/A glue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileron hinge area.
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
8) Aer both ailerons are securely hinged,
rmly 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.
Work the aileron up and down several times to “work in” the hinges
and check for proper movement.
Note :
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the
same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

BALANCING.
1) It is critical that your airplane be balanced correctly. Improper balance will
cause your plane to lose control and
crash. THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS
LOCATED 110 MM BACK FROM THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE WING AT
THE WING ROOT.
2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using
a couple of pieces of masking tape, place
them on the top side of the wing 110 mm
back from the leading edge of the wing at
the wing root.
Page 27
WWW.SEAGULLMODELS.COM
27
3) Turn the airplane upside down. Place
your ngers on the masking tape and
carefully li the plane .
Accurately mark the balance point on the
top of the wing on both sides of the fuselage. e balance point is located 110 mm
back from the leading edge of the wing at
the wing root. is is the balance point
at which your model should balance for
your rst ights. Later, you may wish to
experiment by shiing the balance up
to 10mm forward or back to change the
ying characteristics. Moving the balance forward may improve the smoothness and arrow- like tracking, but it may
then require more speed for take o and
make it more dicult to slow down for
landing. Moving the balance a makes
the model more agile with a lighter and
snappier ”feel”. In any case,please start at
the location we recommend .
With the wing attached to the fuselage, all parts of the model installed
( ready to y), and empty fuel tanks,
hold the model at the marked balance point with the stabilizer level.
Li the model. If the tail drops when you
li, the model is “tail heavy” and you
must add weight* to the nose. If the nose
drops, it is “nose heavy” and you must
add weight* to the tail to balance.
*If possible, rst attempt to balance the
model by changing the position of the receiver battery and receiver. If you are unable to obtain good balance by doing so,
then it will be necessary to add weight to
the nose or tail to achieve the
proper balance point.

with dual rate switches double check that
they are on the low rate setting for your rst
few ights.
6) Check to ensure the control surfaces are
moving the proper amount for both low and
high rate settings.
7) Check the receiver antenna. It should be
fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.
We wish you many safe and enjoyable ights
with your CESSNA 152.
