Default DP Edge, New Question or Two

krazyc,
One other main concern I have is with the mounting of the control horns. The horns themselves look fine, but they mount with only wood screws to hold them in. The instructions say to drop CA glue in each pilot hole and then mount them.
I am concerned if these will hold up, because even on my tiny little 40-60 sized planes, the control horns use machine screws that go ALL THE WAY THROUGH the control surface and then into the backplate.
Why does DP use wood screws that don't even exit the opposite side of the control surface? Should I upgrade the hardware?
