in the aileron. The holes should be located directly
behind the servo arm. Use a hobby knife with a
#11 blade or pin vise with a 1/16-inch (1.5mm)
drill bit to remove the covering for the aileron
control horn. Use care not to accidentally make
holes through to the top of the aileron.
3. Use side cutters to trim the pins on the control
horn to a length of 1/8-inch (3mm) so they don’t
extend through the top of the aileron.
4. Insert the pins of the control horn into the holes
in the aileron. Use a felt-tipped pen to trace the
outline of the control horn onto the aileron.
5. Remove the control horn. Use a hobby knife with
a #11 blade to trim the covering 1/32-inch (1mm)
inside the lines drawn. Don’t cut into the underlying
wood as you could possibly weaken the structure.
6. Use medium CA to glue the control horn to the
aileron. Allow the CA to cure before proceeding to
