chemie,
Here's the reason the mounting holes for the supplied control horns won't work. The row of holes on the control horn where the linkage attaches needs to be in line with where the control surface hinges at (pivot point). This is kinda hard for me to explain. If I can find a picture, I will post what I am trying to describe.

As for the fiberglass reinforcement, I'm not going to install it on mine. This is the only plane that I have seen that suggests the reinforcement. Now, I may be wrong, but I think it's "old school", or overkill for the control horn area. Also, I will be using this type of horn http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXK108&P=0 and not the supplied horn. There is probably not a thing wrong with the supplied horns. I just like the idea of the horn being in the middle of it's mounting bracket, as opposed to the "over to one side" type, like the supplied ones. On all of my other planes, you drill the hole for the screws to pass threw, and then put a drop of CA in each hole, wait a couple minutes for the CA to dry and then install the control horn. Again, I just like what has worked for me.

I did put the reinforcement over the pre-bent wire that ties the two elevator halves together. But I used water-based poly (3 coats) to apply the fiberglass. The wire is installed using epoxy, and I figure the poly (along with the Ultracote covering) is strong enough to hold the fiberglass in place. If I hit (in a very bad landing) the elevator hard enough to break the wire loose, I'm going to have much bigger problems.

I also like the idea of the longer set times of the TB.

FYI - I used 30 minute epoxy to install the firewall, landing gear mount, and the tri-stock supports around each. A little tip: When you get to the part of installing the firewall and landing gear mount, install both of these parts making sure that there is no epoxy that squirts out in the area of where the tri-stock will go. Let those parts dry completely, and then install the tri-stock. And on the tri-stock for the landing gear mount, make sure it fits good and snug, and that there is some epoxy in the area where it mounts against the fuselage side. I use a lot of Q-tips or paper towel pieces when gluing parts together to wipe away any glue (CA or epoxy) that squirts out of a joint. Just removing unnecessary weight.
