They're not perfect, but I installed the control rods. Couple of questions:

The rudder fuselage slot came out ok, but I had to enlarge the elevator slot quite a lot in order to prevent the control rod from rubbing against the fuselage. Also once I enlarged the slot it helped seperate the two control rods in the fuselage.

1) I think the problem occurred because I wasn't able to accurately mark where to cut the slots on the fuselage. When I placed the fuselage on the plans, obviously I was unable to see throught the wood of the fuselage to mark the slots. So I marked them as best I could, but the elevator slot was marked poorly. Is there a little trick to marking cut lines blindly?

2) The rudder slot is pretty close to the size on the plans, but the elevator slot is probably 30-40 % too large. Is this going to be a problem while in the air? Should I attempt to close it a little?
