Servo now fitted ( 8411 ) Control horns have to be glued in. Slots were routed using a Dremel and then filled with Hysol. Hardwood blocks were under the aileron skin straight back from the servo horn. Control surface horns were nicely made carbon items that even had a saw tooth pattern on the bottom side to aid adhesion. Hysol surround was painted black later to cover it up. I nearly forgot to angle the horn so the hole for the clevis was in line with the hinge pin on the surface.

One aspect that I am not over keen on is the fact that there is quite a large area of the pin hinges that are unsupported from the trailing edge of the wing backwards. I spoje with James about this in depth whilst at Best in the west, and I explained how a little support would eliminate the flex in the control surface. I have decided to go with it as standard ( I want to try the kit as standard as possible )
