Ok, I'm going to take a few minutes to finish up the ailerons and the hinges. We need to go ahead and fit the aileron on the wing at this point. If it doesn't fit correctly you'll want to stop and make any corrections now before we move to the next step, which will be to cut the ailerons off on the outside end to match the wing tips. Go ahead and put all the hinges in the trailing edge of the wing (picture #1). Now slowly fit the aileron onto the hinges (picture #2). It helps to put it on at an “angle”, which will make is easier because you only need to line up one hinge with a slot at a time. Once you have all the hinges into all the slots on the ailerons push the aileron all the way down against the trailing edge of the wing. You want as tight of a fit as you can get, you want the gap as small as you can get while still being able to move the ailerons back and forth (picture #3 & #4). Take a little time and make sure everything fits and that the ailerons move freely back and forth. Picture #5 shows the left aileron installed and picture #6 shows the right aileron installed. Right now we are only test fitting the ailerons, <b>DO NOT</b> glue them at this time. We are still a long way away from gluing the control surfaces on. So fit the ailerons for now, and leave them like this.
