Wick means to apply the CA to the hinge line and then allow capillary action to pull the CA throughout the hinge so that is gets firmly glued to the wood the hinges is in. Simply apply 4-6 drops of CA to each hinge and allow it to wick into the entire hinge. Also, turn over the wing and apply 4-6 more drops to the opposite side of the hinge as well.

To answer your three questions

1. Now before you answer this question, is it correct that the <u>control surfaces </u>refer to the <u>Ailerons</u>?

Yes, "Control Surfaces" means the ailerons. It also means the rudder and the elevator as well. All of these are considered control surfaces</p>

1. And why apply glue to this area when it is already attached by a small metal rod?

The "small metal rod" does not attach the aileron to the wing. This rod is called a torque rod and it's purpose is soley for movement of the aileron. It is what transfers the motion of the servo to the aileron. Hinges are what secure the ailerons to the wings.</p>

1. what will happen if I don't apply glue to the control surfaces?

The control surfaces will more than likely come off in flight and the plane will crash.
