HINGING THE FLAP

Note : e control surfaces, including the ailer-

ons, elevators, and rudder, are prehinged with

hinges installed, but the hinges are not glued in

place. It is imperative that you properly adhere

the hinges in place per the steps that follow us-

ing a high-quality thin C/A glue.

Carefully remove the ap from one of the

wing panels. Note the position of the hinges.

Remove each hinge from the wing panel

and ap and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing

panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing

panel. is will help ensure an equal amount

of hinge is on either side of the hinge line

when the ap is mounted to the aileron.

Hinge

Slide the wing panel on the ap until

there is only a slight gap. e hinge is

now centered on the wing panel and ap.

Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron

against the wing panel. A gap of 1/64” or

less should be maintained between the

wing panel and ap.

Upgraded A6M Zero Fighter 67”, 15-20cc Instruction Manual.

NOTE : e hinge is constructed of a spe-

cial material that allows the C/A to wick

or penetrate and distribute throughout

the hinge, securely bonding it to the wood

structure of the wing panel and ap.

Deect the ap and completely satu-

rate each hinge with thin C/A glue. e

ailerons front surface should lightly con-

tact the wing during this procedure. Ide-

ally, when the hinges are glued in place,

a 1/64” gap or less will be maintained

throughout the lengh of the ap to the

wing panel hinge line.

Turn the wing panel over and deect the

ap in the opposite direction from the oppo-

site side. Apply thin C/A glue to each hinge,

making sure that the C/A penetrates into

both the aileron and wing panel.

Using C/A remover/debonder and a paper

towel, remove any excess C/A glue that may

have accumulated on the wing or in the ap

hinge area.

Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in

place.

Aer both ap are securely hinged,

rmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued

and cannot be pulled out. Do this by care-

fully applying medium pressure, trying to

separate the ap from the wing panel. Use

caution not to crush the wing structure.

Work the aileron up and down sev-

eral times to “work in” the hinges

and check for proper movement.

Note :

Note :

Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in

Aer both ailerons are securely hinged,

fully applying medium pressure, trying to

separate the aileron from the wing panel.

Use caution not to crush the wing struc-

ture.

Locate the aileron and ap control horns.

e taller control horn is used for the ailer-

ons, and the shorter horn for the aps.

Use sandpaper to scu the bottom of the

aileron and ap control horns. Use a paper

towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any

oils or debris from the control horns.

Check the t of the control horns to the

aileron and ap. ey should rest ush

against the control surface as shown.

INSTALL THE AILERONS

CONTROL HORN

Ailerons control horn

Place low-tack tape 1/32 inch (1mm)

from the control horn slot. is will pre-

vent epoxy from getting on the control

surface when the control horns are glued

in place.

Apply epoxy to the area of the control

horns that st into the slots. Use enough

epoxy so the control horns will be fully

bonded to the ed surfaces.

Remove the control horns from the

control surfaces. Apply epoxy to the slot

in the aileron and ap. Make sure the

epoxy gets into the slot for a good bond

between the surfaces and control horn.

Epoxy

Before the epoxy fully cures, remove

the tape from around the control horn.

is will allow the epoxy to ow around

the control horn, creating a small let

between the control horn and surface for

a ished look and secure bond.

Epoxy

Install the ap control horn using the

same method as same as the aileron con-

trol horns.

INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS

Ailerons servo Flap servo

Because the size of servos dier, you

may need to adjust the size of the precut

opening in the mount. e notch in the

sides of the mount allow the servo lead to

pass through.

Place the servo between the mounting

blocks and space it from the hatch. Use a

pencil to mark the mounting hole loca-

tions on the blocks.

Use drill bit in a pin vise to drill the

mouting holes in the blocks.

Apply 2-3 drops of thin C/A to each of

the mounting holes. Allow the C/A to

cure without using accelerator.

1.5mm

Minimum servo spec.

Torque : 80 oz-in (5.8 kg-cm) @ 4.8V;

100 oz-in (7.2 kg-cm) @ 6.0V

Use dental oss or heatshrunk tube to

secure the connection so they cannot be-

come unplugged.

C/A glue

Secure the servo to the aileron hatch

using Phillips screwdriver and the screws

provided with the servo.

Apply 1-2 drops of thin C/A to each of

the mounting tabs. Allow the C/A to cure

without using accelerator.

C/A glue

Remove the string from the wing at the

servo location and use the tape to attach it

to the servo extension lead. Pull the lead

through the wing and remove the string.

Set the aileron hatch in place and use a

Phillips screw driver to install it with four
