Glue the Fairing onto the Wing
Mount the Aileron Servo
12. Use thick CA+ to glue the top fairing to the top of
the wing. Remove the plastic that is covering the wing
dowel hole on the leading edge of the wing. Proceed to
glue the bottom fairing to the bottom side of the wing and
remove the remaining plastic covering the dowel hole.
Insert the Wing Dowel
2. Mount the aileron servo in the servo tray using the
screws, grommets and rubber mounts supplied with servo.
Place the control horn on the aileron servo in the neutral
position.
Connect the Clevises
3. Locate the nylon swivels and thread them onto the
13. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the hardwood wing
dowel into the leading edge of the wing. Work epoxy into
the dowel hole using a sliver of wood. Apply epoxy to the
dowel and insert the dowel. Leave 1/2" of dowel protruding
from the wing. Apply the foam rubber seal to the front edge
of the wing fairing (see Step 11, page 10). Clean the
excess epoxy from the dowel using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol.
Aileron Assembly
1. Trial fit the servo into the servo tray. Locate the
plywood servo tray mounting blocks and glue them into the
aileron servo tray opening using 6-minute epoxy. The tray
should be flush with the top of the wing joiners installed
earlier in Step 6, Page 7.
aileron torque rods until approximately 1/8" of threaded rod
is showing above the swivel. Thread the clevises onto the
control rods 15 full turns. Using the grooves on one side of
the clevis as a guide, snap the clevis onto the swivel. (It
may be necessary to use pliers to hold the control rod
while threading on the clevises.)
Connect the Pushrods to the Servo
4. Mark the control rod at the point that it crosses the
control horn holes, 1/2" from the center of the servo control
horn. Cut the control rod 1/4" past the mark and make a
L-bend at that mark. Center the servo and insert the
L-bend through the servo horn. Place a Nylon Faslink
Pushrod Connector on the L-bend and servo horn to
secure the pushrod. It may be necessary to enlarge the
holes in the servo horn using a 5/64" drill bit.
