Once the hinges are cured, locate the hardware
for the elevator as shown. We will be installing the
control horn, and we will install all remaining horns
using this procedure.
Locate the slots cut into the elevator. Place the fiber-
glass baseplate of the horn over the slots and use
it as a template to cut the covering to expose bare
wood.
If necessary, clean out the slots in the elevator of
any stray wood fibers so the control horn can easily
be inserted.
Use sandpaper or an emery file to roughen the part
of the control horn which will be inserted into the
elevator. We do this to ensure the best possible glue
joint on this super-critical connection.
Assemble the elevator control horn as shown, using
a 3mm screw with integral washer, ball link, washer
and nyloc nut.
Place the baseplate on the horn as shown, mix a
new batch of 30 minute epoxy, and coat the base-
plate and legs of the horn assembly with epoxy.
Place more epoxy into the slots in the elevator and
insert the horn assembly. Clean up any excess ep-
oxy which comes out. Allow to cure.
This balsa block is held into postition in the fuse-
lage with tape during shipping. Remove it and set it
aside.

Note that the 74” Slick 580 EXP uses two different
types of ball joints. One is symmetrical and is used
on the fiberglass control horns i the surfaces. The
other is asymmetrical, with a raised pedestal on one
side, and it is used on the servo arms.
