Let's get started!
1. When assembling one of our current aircraft, I like to go ahead and get all
of the control horns glued into the control surfaces. I start by lightly scuffing
both sides of the shanks of each control horn that will be glued into the surface.
A sanding block with medium grit sandpaper is ideal for this task.
2. Insert two control horns into a baseplate and temporarily insert them into
the slots in the control surface (each surface's horns are affixed using the same
method, so choose the surface you want to start with and continue this
procedure until all horns are glued in place). Use a fine tipped marker to trace
the control horn. Remove the horns and baseplate and use a sharp #11 hobby
blade to remove the covering 2mm inside the line you traced. Take great care
to only score the covering.
