12. Remove the control surface and apply a small<br />
amount of hinge glue in each of the holes in the<br />
fixed surface for the hinges. Insert the hinges,<br />
attaching the control surface and fixed surface.<br />
Allow the adhesive to fully cure before proceeding.<br />
15. Prepare the flap hinges by applying a small<br />
amount of petroleum jelly to the knuckle of the<br />
hinge. Work the hinge so the petroleum jelly<br />
penetrates the hinge. The petroleom jelly will keep<br />
the adhesive from entering the knuckle, causing the<br />
hinge to bind.<br />
17. Position the flap on the wing. Align the flap<br />
with the aileron and the inboard section of the<br />
trailing edge.<br />
13. Once the hinges are in place, use a paper<br />
towel and water to remove any excess adhesive<br />
that may have seeped out when the hinges were<br />
installed.<br />
14. Repeat Steps 11 through 13 for<br />
the remaining stabilizer and elevator, as well as<br />
the ailerons and rudder.<br />
16. Fit the hinges in the flap so the hinge point is<br />
recessed into the flap 3/32-inch (4mm).<br />
18. Check that the flap can move through its range<br />
of motion. If there is binding, reposition the hinges<br />
and recheck the flap operation.<br />
Hinging the flaps will take a small amount of trial<br />
and error to correctly position the hinges. Read<br />
through the following steps on positioning the<br />
control surfaces before applying any glue. Improper<br />
installation of the surfaces will cause the control<br />
surfaces to bind, which can cause premature drain<br />
on the battery or even damage to the servos.<br />
