Section 9: Installing the Control Horns

Parts Needed
• Standard/reverse control horns (2 each, 4 total)
• Plastic plates (3)
• Screws (12)
• Fuselage with rudder and elevator
Step 1. Locate a standard and reverse control horn and the
associated hardware. Note that on the bottom of the control
horns, the one with no markings is the standard horn and the
one with the "R" is the reverse control horn. The right (as relates
to the pilot sitting in the cockpit) elevator uses the standard horn,
the left elevator uses the reverse horn.
Step 2. It will be helpful to turn the aircraft upside down. For
illustration purposes we will describe installing the control horn
on the right elevator first (as relates to pilot sitting in cockpit).
Measure 1/2'' back from the hinge line of the elevator and make
a mark with a felt tipped pen.
Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Phillips screwdriver
• Drill
• Drill bits: 1/16'', 3/32''
• Ruler
• Felt tipped pen
• Masking tape
Step 3. Locate the standard horn. Trial fit the horn on the
elevator with the flat part pointing toward the tip of the elevator
and the part that connects to the clevis being closest to the
fuselage.
Step 4. Line up the front edge of the horns with the mark you
made in Step 2 and make sure the horn is centered on the wood
frame of the elevator. Mark the screw holes with a felt tipped pen.
