Assemble a ball link rod end to the control horn using a
supplied machine screw and nylon lock nut. Assembling
the ball link rod end to the control horn at this step will
help keep the control horn halves parallel during

Remove the control horn leaving the tape in position.
Using a new hobby knife blade and lightly cut through the
covering but not into the balsa sheeting.
Cut inside the tape edge about 1/16”.
Use sand paper to roughen the lower portion of the
control horns on both sides. Roughen one side of the
base plate. This will help the epoxy bond to the control
horn parts.
Apply epoxy to the slots in the aileron. Use a pin to help
push some epoxy in.
Apply epoxy to the control horn assembly and insert it
into the aileron slots.
Wipe away excess epoxy using a paper towel soaked with
denatured alcohol. Use an upward rolling motion as you
wipe the excess epoxy to lift it from the surface. This
helps reduce smearing the epoxy.
