Step1:Drilla1/1 6 ‐inchholeintothecenterofeachhingeslotintheaileronandwingpanel.Trimthecoveringawayfrom
eachhingeslottoensurethatthehingeswillbeproperlygluedinplace.


Step2:TestfitaCAhingeintoeachofthehingeslots.Ifnecessary,enlargetheslotswithahobbyknife.Whensatisfied
withthefit,placethehingesintotheslots.Pushapinthroughthemiddleofeachhingetokeepthemcentered.


Step3:Jointheailerontothewingpanelandremovethepinsfromthehinges.Centertheailerononthewing.


Step4:AdjusttheaileronsothereisasmallgapbetweentheLEoftheaileronandthewing.Thegapshouldbeabout
1/6 4 ‐inchorjustwideenoughtoslipapieceofpaperthrough.



Step5:ApplysixdropsofthinCAtothetopandbottomofeachhinge.Donotuseacceleratorinthehingingprocess.The
CAmustbeallowedtosoakintothehingenaturally.AftertheCAhascured,flexthesurfacesseveraltimestobreakinthe
hinges.Pullonbothsurfacestomakesurethehingesaresecure.

Beforeinstallation,confirmthattheservosyouwillbeusingwillproperlyfitintheservoopening.Makeadjustmentsas
necessaryforyourservos.Thepre‐cutservoopeningsonthisairplanewillfitmoststandardsizeservos.

Step1:Installingtheservosinthewingwillrequiretheuseofaservoextensionwireforeachaileronservo.OneY‐harness
connectorisalsorequiredandisusedtoallowtheaileronservostoplugintooneslotinyourreceiver.Youmayalsohavea
computerradiothatallowsyoutoplugtheservosintoseparateslotsandthenmixthemtogetherwiththeradio
transmitter.IfyouchoosetomixthemtogetherwiththeradioratherthanaY‐harness,refertothemanualforyour
particularmodelradiosystem.


Step2:Attachtheservoextensiontotheaileronservoandsecureitwithheatshrinktubing.Thetubingcanbeshrunk
aroundtheconnectorwithaheatgunormicrotorch.Ifyouraileronservohastabsmoldedintothecaseformountingthe
servoonitsside,theymustbecutoffinorderfortheservotofitintotheservobayinthewingpanel.Followthe
instructionsincludedwiththeservoforcuttingthetabs.Installtheeyeletsandgrommetsincludedwiththeservo.



Step3:Securelytiethestringfrominsidetheopeningfortheaileronservototheendoftheservoextension.Pullthe

intotheopening.Cutthreearmsfromafour‐armedservoarm(armsmayneedtobepurchasedseparately).Centerthe
servowithyourradiosystemandinstallaservoarmparalleltotheaileronhingelineasshown.


Step5:Placeoneofthenyloncontrolhornontheaileron,positioningitasshowninthesketchandaligningitwiththe
servoarmusingastraightedgeasaguide.Markthelocationforthescrewholes.UsingaФ1.8mmdrillbit,drillahole
