HINGING THE AILERON.
Note : e control surfaces, including the ai-
lerons, 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 using a high-quality thin C/A glue.
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 wing
panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing
panel. is will help ensure an equal amount
of hinge is on either side of the hinge line
when the aileron is mounted to the aileron.
3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron until
there is only a slight gap. e hinge is now
centered 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.
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.
NOTE : 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.

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 :
HINGING THE ELEVATORS.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using
the same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.
HINGING THE RUDDER.
Glue the rudder hinges in place using
the same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

INSTALLING THE STOPPER
ASSEMBLY.
1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut
o the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon
tubes leaving 1/2” protruding from the
rear of the stopper. is will be the fuel
pick up tube.
2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length
of silicon fuel line. Connect one end of
the line to the weighted fuel pick up and
the other end to the nylon pick up tube.

3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube up
at a 45º angle. is tube is the vent tube.
4) Test t the stopper assembly into the tank.
It may be necessary to remove some of the
ashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If ashing is present, make
sure none falls into the tank.

5) With the stopper assembly in place, the
weighted pick-up should rest away from the
rear of the tank and move freely inside the
tank. e top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
6) When satised with the alignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm machine screw until the rubber stopper expands
and seals the tank opening. Do not overtighten the assembly as this could cause the
tank to split.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.
You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pickup when you attach
fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper. Once
the tank is installed inside the fuselage, it may
be dicult to determine which is which.

7) Slide the fuel tank into the fuselage. Guide
the lines from the tank through the hole in
the rewall.
8) Use plywood template to hold in place the
fuel tank with C/A glue to secure the fuel
tank inside the fuselage.
