Default RE: Elevator Control Horn

Brazing music wire is pretty easy, as cutaway said. I just fabricated a set of landing gear for a Sopwith Camel using 35% silver brazing wire to join 1/8 and 5/32 music wire - my first brazing job and it went really nicely.

You don't need to invest in an oxy torch if you don't want to. I used a simple single-tank torch with a pencil-flame tip. The fuel was labelled as "Brazing Gas" but it was actually propene (NB NOT propANE). Safer than acetylene, doesn't need oxy and heats up plenty hot for brazing.

If you want to see my Camel gear to get a sense of how easy it is (remember, this was my very first brazing job), visit the RC Scale Aircraft Forum at [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6328853/tm.htm[/link].
