1) Next we are going to hinge the ailerons the same way we did the elevator and rudder.
2) Next we are going to build the hinge pieces...dry fit everything first...do not glue yet!
3) Next we will cut the slots in the wings for each of the ailerons...mark at 4" from the fuse and 3" for the end of each wing.
4) Cut out the area that will fit your servo...you want this to be snug...don't cut the area to large or it will be difficult to mount the servo.
5) Apply the ply doublers to the foam using med CA. The servos will be screwed into the ply.
6) You will do the same thing to the elevator.
7) The rudder control is a bit tricky...glue in Only one side!! The other side will be glued in once the control horn is mounted in the rudder!!
8) Setting up the pull-pull rudder isn't hard but will take a little time to get correct. First you will need to get the thread and attach it to the servo control. Slip the thread through one end of the brass tube...through the servo control horn and back through the brass tube. Crimp the tube using plyers and then apply CA to each end of the crimped brass tube. This will keep the thread from becoming loose. Next move the thread through the body of the plane and exit to the tail. I found it easier to attach the i-hook to the rudder horn to insure that there would be no slack in my rudder. Same as the front...slip the thread throught the brass tube...through the i-hook and then back through the brass tube. Crimp and CA and you are good to go...remember that you want in to be only snug...not tight not loose.
