Gluing rudder horn into rudder


Rudder has no wood block to mount horn into so I reversed engineered a wood box to glue the horn into.


Used 1/4"balsa to line the hole to give the horns something to grip to.


3/16" balsa CA glued inside horn halves.


CA penetrated holes in the CF and balsa and turned the whole assemble to a very ridged control horn


Hysol applied to all parts. I used the stick to force the hysol into all the cracks and voids


Final position after clean up of hysol squeeze out. A weighted Phillips screwdriver used to hold the horn in place during cure.


Rudder control horn done.
