Status: offline 		I've read different recommendations on what to do here. Do I alter the slots for the rudder horns so the holes are on the hinge line or mount the horns as is so the holes are about 1/4" in front of the hinge line?
Also, do I mount the horns so the stops (little triangle on one side of horn) are on opposite sides or both on same side?

Thanks for any help

Thank you,
Reza

Status: offline 		Thanks guys, Is there an optimal point? On the line, or a little forward? What would Quique do?

Status: offline 		I just got to this same point on my 86" YAK today and was wondering the same thing. The holes in the elevator horns line up about 1/8 in front of the hing line. The rudder horn holes are pretty close, though I will need to do a bit of adjusting to get the holes to line up.

I am very impressed with this aircraft. Very lightly built, covering is very well done and the hardware seems to be of excellent quality. Now I have to see if I can get this together by next weekend!

Regards,

John B.

Status: offline 		Looks like there are 15 Quique Yaks at Sodbusters now. John, if you need any local tech support, dont forget your friends at Sodbusters. I could have had my 86" together easily in a week, if it wasnt for my decision to run an Evolution. You have plenty of time.

Status: offline 		Reza,
Since I haven't glued them in yet, What makes the best geometry? (least slack in cables) , on the line or a bit in front?
Or am I being too anal fretting about it?

Thanks
