The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, 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 using a high-quality

thin C/A glue.

HINGING THE AILERONS .

Note:

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

2)Removeeachhingefromthewingpanel

and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron

untiltheT-pin issnug againstthe aileron.This

will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is

oneither side ofthehingelinewhentheaileron

is mounted to the wing panel.

3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until

there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and aileron.

Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron

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

shouldbemaintained between the wingpanel

andaileron.

MINI MXS-R EP Instruction Manual.

8)Afterboth ailerons are securelyhinged,

firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully

applying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

papertowel,remove any excess C/A gluethat

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileronhinge area.

5)Turnthe wing panel over anddeflect the

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge,making surethattheC/A penetratesinto

both the aileron and wing panel.

Workthe aileron upand down several

times to “work in” the hinges and

check for proper movement.

Note:

HINGING THE ELEVATORS.

Glue the elevator hinges in place using the

same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

4) Deflect the aileron and completely

saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The

aileronsfrontsurfaceshouldlightlycontactthe

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when

thehinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or

less will be maintained throughout the lengh

of the aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

Hinge.

Thehinge is constructed of a special

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 aileron.
