Status: offline 		I'm building a Seagull .90-1.25 Extra 260 and I put all the control horn bolts through the holes in my control surfaces. It uses the 2 aluminum washers and a nut to keep them in place with a little loc-tite on the threads.

Where the bolt goes through, it goes through plywood or bass wood. In the directions it said to put a little 30 min epoxy in the holes just before slideing the control horn bolt through. I forgot to do that because I only glanced at the directions. I built this plane once before, and I don't recall putting anything in the holes before because it's in a plywood area, and not balsa.

Do you guys think it will be OK? Or do I have to pull everything apart to put the epoxy in? Because of my experience this is a easy build and I'm wondering if this was a important step I over looked?

The why of it is the screws may compress the wood a bit and the screws may loosen up a bit then wobble around and enlarge the drilled hole in the wood. That creates a sloppy control surface. Your call.

You're OK. Keep an eye to ensure the nut/bolt remains snug and you won't have any problems. Enjoy the plane, you'll love it!
