RE: Elder 20 ailrons
At the time the Elder 20 came out, Top Flite expected the modeler to know enough about it to make their own ailerons. The installation of ailerons isn't shown in the instructions.
While we don't have a set of instructions for making ailerons, you'd basically have to cut them out of the wing, add whatever additional stock you need to make a trailing edge for the wing panel and a leading edge for the aileron, bevel it and add hinges. You could use strip aileron torque rods from the center, bellcranks and pushrods, or two separate aileron servos.
Detailed instructions are beyond the scope of this forum. You'd basically have to work up your own modifications and needed hardware list. If you have built other kits or from plans, you should be able to do this with few problems. Just follow how the ailerons were built in those models.
