Default RE: Lightning Build

I use 3/8" dowel hard points for the control horns. To cut the holes, I use a sharpened piece of brass tube in my drill press. Once the holes are cut the dowels are epoxied in. After that cures, I use the Dremel router attachment, with the bit set flush, to shave off the excess dowel. Once that is complete, I use the drill press to drill the hole in the hard point for the control horn.

It is getting close to time to put away the 60 grit and get this thing fine sanded, glassed and painted/monokoted!
