Use a small piece of rough sandpaper to
scu the hinges for better epoxy adhesion.
Do this to all aileron hinges.
Remove the ailerons from the wing and
remove the hinges.
Apply epoxy to each hinge where it will
be inserted into the ailerons. Tip: Apply
some petroleum jelly to the metal pin
hinge area to keep epoxy from interfering
with smooth operation of hinge.

Insert all four hinges in the ailerons at

6.
Apply epoxy into each of the holes in the
ailerons using a spare piece of pushrod
wire or toothpick.
Make sure to use enough epoxy so it
securely adheres the hinge to the surfaces.
Do not use an excessive amount of epoxy
when gluing the hinges so that it expels
from the hinge area.

8.
Be sure to test the aileron hinges once
you insert them. Ensure that the hinge
pockets line up, and that the hinges move
freely before the epoxy dries.
Check the t of the aileron to the wing.
e top of the ailerons will align to the
top of the wing. Make sure movement is
smooth and bind free.
We prefer 30-minute epoxy to allow
enough working time during the hinge
installation.

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.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at
a 45º angle. is tube is the vent tube.
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.
When satised with the alignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3x20mm ma-
chine screw until the rubber stopper expands
and seals the tank opening. Do not overtight-
en the assembly as this could cause the tank
to split.
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.

Fuel pick up tube.
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.

Slide the fuel tank into the fuselage. Guide
the lines from the tank through the hole in
the rewall.
