Any other good ideas to make sure the drill goes through straight with a 2 screw standard control horn?
Drill press is no good when the surfaces are already glued and hinged on the plane.
Also when the horn is up against the fuse closely what type of long drill bit or tool to use to make the hole since the bulky electric drill forces an angle since it can't get close to the plane?
I usually miss getting the holes straight enough to line up with the backplate 50% of the time lately...
A pin vise with a number 80 drill bit works very well.
It's small enough to get into tight places and the small bit doesn't remove too much material to make the threads not hold but allows the bolt to go through when screwed in - it is a very tight fit between the bolt and the material you drilled through.
