2) When satisfied with the fit, remove the ai-
leron and slide a small piece of waxed paper be-
tween the aileron torque rod and the trailing edge
of the wing. See photo # 15 below.

The waxed paper will prevent epoxy from
gluing the torque rod to the trailing edge of
the wing.
o
3) Mix up a small amount of Kwik Bond 30
Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer of epoxy to the
aileron torque rod. Also use a toothpick and pack
epoxy into the predrilled hole in the aileron.
o
4) Slide the aileron and it's hinges into their
precut hinge slots in the trailing edge of the wing,
making sure the torque rod is firmly seated in the
precut hole in the leading edge of the aileron. With
the aileron tight against the wing, rotate the aile-
ron down about 45º. Apply six drops of Kwik
Bond Thin C/A to the exposed area of each hinge.
Allow the glue to cure for about ten minutes.
Once cured, the aileron may be stiff and difficult
to move. This is normal. Gently move the aileron
up and down about five to ten times to free it up.
o
5) Repeat steps # 1 - # 4 for the second
aileron.
HINGE THE ELEVATOR
o
6) The C/A hinges have already been glued
into the elevator. Slide the elevator and it's hinges
into their precut hinge slots in the trailing edge of
the horizontal stabilizer. Slide the elevator in until
it is tight against the trailing edge of the stabi-
lizer. The maximum hinge gap should be no more
than 1/32”. See photo # 16 below.

lizer, rotate the elevator down about 45º. Apply
six drops of Kwik Bond Thin C/A to the exposed

be stiff and difficult to move. This is normal.
Gently move the elevator up and down about five
to ten times to free it up.
INSTALL THE TAIL WHEEL WIRE
o
8) Using a ruler and a pen, measure up 3/4”
from the bottom of the rudder, at the leading edge,
and place a mark.
o
9) Using a 3/32” drill bit, drill a hole into the
rudder at the mark made. Using a modeling knife,
cut a groove from the hole, down to the bottom of
the rudder. Make the hole deep enough for the tail
wheel wire to set flush in. See figure # 4 below.

o
10) Mix up a small amount of Kwik Bond 5
Minute Epoxy. Apply the epoxy to only those
parts of the tail wheel wire that will be glued to
the rudder. Pack epoxy into the hole you drilled
in the leading edge of the rudder also.
o
11) Insert the tail wheel wire into the rudder.
Clean up any excess epoxy using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. See photo # 17 below.

HINGE THE RUDDER
o
12) The C/A hinges have already been
glued into the rudder. Slide the rudder and it's
hinges into their precut hinge slots in the trailing
edge of the vertical stabilizer. Slide the rudder
in until it is tight against the trailing edge of the
stabilizer. The maximum hinge gap should be no
more than 1/32”.
