Glue the 4 flat carbon spars to the trailing
edge of the ailerons.

The plywood pieces can now be painted
and holes enlarged with a 1/32 (.031) drill.
I recommend using the

middle

hole on the

rudder and elevator horn, and the

top

hole on the aileron horns.

Glue plywood horns into the slots
provided on the elevator and rudder.
