Default RE: Building the original Byron P-51 Mustang

The elevator horn assembly was not in my kit nor were the hinges and aluminum tubes. So I had to make this control assembly by hand. I used some heavy duty landing gear wire and put it in a vice and SLOWLY bent it untill it was the size and shape I wanted. This baby is really strong and will not bend! The control horns on it were from an old kit and are the front steering arms. I cut one side of them off and replace the grub screw with a bolt so it would be easier to adjust and tighten when it is inside the fuselage.
