I cut a small groove in the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. This groove will allow clearance for the horn in the elevator joiner wire so it can move up and down without hitting.




The rudder is deflected left and right with this pre-bent rudder torque rod. A nylon swivel horn is rotated onto the threaded end.




The nylon horn is installed until it's flush to the threaded end as shown.




The rudder torque rod will be inserted through a hole drilled through the TOP of the stabilizer. I'm using a plywood rudder torque rod drill guide to ensure that the hole will be drilled at the correct angle.






I chose to drill a 3/16" hole using a brass tube with its end sharpened.




With the hole drilled, it's time to slip the rudder torque rod through the stabilizer.
