HINGING THE FLAP .

The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, 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.

Note:

1) Carefully remove the flap from one of

thewingpanels.Notethepositionofthehinges.

2)Removeeach hinge from thewingpanel

andflapand place aT-pininthe center ofeach

hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron until

the T-pin is snug against the aileron. This will

help ensure an equal amount of hinge is on

either side of the hinge line when the flap is

mounted to the wing panel.

3) Slide the flap on the wing panel until

there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and flap. Remove

the T-pins and snug the flap against the wing

panel. A gap of 1/64” or less should be

maintained between the wing panel and flap.

the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm

machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-

pands and seals the tank opening. Do not

overtighten the assembly as this could cause

the tank to split.
