The Micro Aileron System can be a bit overwhelming from the number of parts included in the kit. If you methodically follow the product card and these instructions you can have your model setup with this kit in no time at all.
· Some basic tools are some pliers, needle nose pliers, a small screwdriver, DUBRO Hinge Tape, marker, and maybe some extra 0.032” music wire.
· Sometimes your model may need a modified “Z” bend rather than using the included micro E/Z connectors. Refer to 2:07 of the DUBRO 101 video on how to create a modified “Z” bend.
· Keep your product card handy as a quick visual reference and WEAR SAFETY GLASSES when cutting metal. ALWAYS.
· Lay out your parts and measure the length that you need for the torque rods. The plastic tubes are then cut to that length as bearings for the torque rods. Slide these onto the torque rods and set them in place mirroring each other… you want to make one for each side and not two of the same.
· Bend a 90-degree using needle nose pliers straight up at the end of the torque tube.
· Transfer the torque rods to the model and use a fine-tip marker to see where you need to trim the wire so that it does not protrude from the model.
· Install the 5/64” hex head screws into the clevis pieces and set them at the same height for both sides. Do not fully torque these just yet as fine adjustments may need to be made after installation.
· Install the bearing tubes onto the wing in line with the hinge line for the ailerons. Secure the bearing tube to the wing using tape or DUBRO hinge tape.
· Mark the length of your pushrod that is needed and cut to length. Install the push rod into the clevis connectors. Secure with clip in E/Z links and clip into place.
· Centering the ailerons can be done by applying a slight amount of twisting on the torque rods. A little bit goes a long way so do this gradually.
· With the prop off and the airplane powered on, verify that your two ailerons are deflecting approximately the same amount and sliding the linkages appropriately. Tighten those 5/64” hex head screws to finish the job.
· Remember to inspect your installation as part of any routine safety check PRIOR to flight.
