The plane comes with some very nice lightweight phenolic control horns. These are not only fairly easy to install, but they give you a strong, lightweight, control horn that looks and performs great! Your ball link goes in the middle for excellent control.

All of the slots for the horns are pre cut which makes install easy to do as well as makes sure your alignment is properly done to ensure proper performance.

The biggest thing here is that you want to make sure you remove the covering so that the horn can be glued directly to the surface for maximum strength. Although the slots are pre-cut you want to make sure that your pivot point (where the ball link bolt holes are located) is on the center of the hinge line. You will also want to compare the elevators to eachother to make sure they are as close to identical as possible, this will help make sure your elevator throws will be as easy as possible to match. If your horns don't match it will make it will make control throws extremely hard to match.

Once you have tested to make sure they align you can use 30 min epoxy to glue in the horns... make sure you double check them after you install them with the glue.
