Section 1: Hinging the Ailerons and FlapsParts Needed• Right wing panel with aileron and hinges (J-3)• Left wing panel with aileron and hinges (J-3)• Right wing panel with aileron, flap and hinges (Super Cub)• Left wing panel with aileron, flap and hinges (Super Cub)Tools and Adhesives Needed• Thin CA glue• CA remover/debonder• Paper towels• T-pins (one for each hinge)Step 3. Slide the aileron onto the wing until there is only aslight gap between the wing panel and aileron. The hinge is nowcentered in the wing panel and the aileron. You can now removethe T-pins and push the aileron up against the wing panel. Forthe Super Cub, repeat the hinge installation for the flap. Beforegluing the hinges in place, make sure the control surfaces do notbind on the stationary trailing edge of the wing or each other.ACaution: The control surfaces, including the ailerons,flaps (Super Cub), elevators and rudder, come with thehinges installed, but the hinges are not glued in place. Thehinge is constructed of a special material that allows thethin CA to "wick" or penetrate and distribute throughoutthe hinge, securely bonding them to the wood structure. Itis imperative that you properly secure the hinges in placeper these instructions using high quality thin CA glue.BStep 1. Carefully remove the aileron and flap (Super Cub) fromone of the wing panels, noting the position of the hinges. TheHanger 9 ® Cub comes with high-quality CA-type hinges.Step 2. Remove the hinges from the wing panel and place aT-pin in the center of each hinge as shown. Slide each hingeinto the wing panel until the T-pin is snug against the trailingedge of the wing panel.Step 4. Deflect the aileron and completely saturate the hingewith thin CA glue. Be sure not to deflect the aileron too far; thetop of the aileron should just touch the top of the wing trailingedge. When the hinge is glued in place there should be no morethan a 1/32" gap maintained throughout the length of the aileron.For the Super Cub, repeat the gluing process for the flap.8
