Fitting the Control Horns

The control horns that came with my kit were not the same as the guide. They had 3 holes each and looked more like a triangle. They still fitted much the same. The elevator horn ended up a bit off centre even after trying not to misalign the holes. I upgraded the push rod connectors to EZ clips. The connector did not fit on the first horn setting, and so I moved it. This could easily be fixed, should I need to.

With the rudder, I connected the control horn to the push rod, and made sure it lined up. This way it would be a good fit. I drilled it whist connected and fitted the small bolts and screws.

Lastly I carefully added some ZAP thread lock to all the bolts before making them tight. I still need to cut back the tips of the bolts.
