Section 9: Rudder and Elevator Control Horn

Installation

Required Parts

• Control horns (2)

• Fuselage

• Control horn backplates (2)
• Control horn screws (6)

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Drill

• Ruler

• Drill Bit: 1/16"

• Felt-tipped pen/pencil

• Phillips screwdriver (medium)

Important

: When installing the control

horns, make sure the holes in the
control horns, where the pushrod attaches,
are directly in line with the control surface
hinge line.

Step 1

To locate the elevator control horn position, measure over
1" from the fuselage on the top right side of the horizontal
stabilizer. Mark the elevator as shown with a felt-tipped
pen or a pencil. This mark will be the center of the
elevator control horn location.

Step 2

Place the center of the control horn on the elevator at
the mark made in the previous step. Mark the positions
for the control horns with a felt-tipped pen or pencil.

Step 3

Remove the control horn and drill 1/16" holes through
the elevator as marked. Make sure to drill these holes
parallel to each other to allow the back plate of the 
horns to fit properly.
