Default Help please!

Bellanca Decathalon from Hobby Lobby- So far I am not impressed with this so called RTF model. There are no instructions for setting up aerilons and the one post I found on it had a picture of the center servo that had different hardware than supplied. When I attach the control arm to the servo the connector pin is too large for the holes in control arm. Does anyone have a comprehensive instruction on this models aerilons with pictures? I am assuming the lil white clips go thru the aerilon and rod slips through the end. I purchased hinge tape from Hobby lobby so I guess it does exactly that...hinges on tape only?? Maybe hobby lobby can send me a control arm that will fit the connector pins? Any help would be great.

What is an aerilon? Is it similar to an aileron?

Not familiar with Bellanca Decathalon from Hobby Lobby but suggest you get help from a local EXPERIENCED R/C pilot. This stuff is basics and would be easy if seen in person by an EXPERIENCED person. No insult intended.

He wasn't trying to insult you, He was just trying to save you from crashing your plane that you have spent good money on.

As I said "No insult intended". Thought you might like to know the correct word to use and/or it's spelling. The remaining advice still stands though.

I took it in jest!

I figured out what most of the hardware was for. I think this Bellanca kit is garbage.
