of the work has been done for you already. e motor mount has been tted and

the hinges are pre-installed. Flying the 1/3 Scale Morane Saulnier AI is simply a joy.

is instruction manual is designed to help you build a great ying aeroplane. Please

HINGING THE AILERON

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 aileron from one of

the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

Remove each hinge from the wing panel

and aileron 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 aileron is mounted to the aileron.

T-pin

Slide the wing panel on the aileron until

there is only a slight gap. e 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 should be maintained between the wing

panel and aileron.

1/3 ScaleMorane Saulnier AI 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 aileron.

Deect the aileron and completely saturate

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

front surface should lightly contact the wing

during this procedure. Ideally, when the

hinges 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.

Turn the wing panel over and deect the

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite 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

aileron hinge area.

Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

Aer both ailerons 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 carefully ap-

plying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron 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.

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

1/3 ScaleMorane Saulnier AI Instruction Manual.

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.

INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS

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.

Use dental oss to secure the connec-

tion so they cannot become unplugged.

Secure the servo to the aileron hatch

using Phillips screwdriver and the screws

provided with the servo.

C/A glue

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

the mounting tabs. Allow the C/A to cure

without using accelerator.

to the servo extension lead. Pull the lead

through the wing and remove the string.
