Default RE: Inst. Of Control Horns

The absolute worst part of building, IMO. I hate it. I always have to go to confession after installing these things. Did i mention that I hate it?
A drill press seems a bit over the edge IMO when we are talking about (usually) 1/2 or so stock BALSA. I use a finger drill. I just use a 1/16 inch bit that has the quick grip end on it. Works OK. Best to get one in (not too tight, though) and then drill about 1/2 way through from the top, and then go to the bottom and drill 1/2 way up. Usually the bit will find the other hole and follow it right up through the top plate. Once you get two in, you are set usually. Good luck!!!
