My first kit build and everything was going smoothly UNTIL.... (i'm sure you've heard this one before!)
Trying to install the torque rod for my elevators...
See 2 attachments

The problem seems to be the 3/32 drill bit hole is too large for what little balsa I have to work with. Trying to get it drilled into the soft balsa looks impossible without a drill press (of which I do not have).
What happens is the balsa splits and it seems impossible to drill the hole at a perpendicular angle to get the torque rod to have the correct angle.
There's got to be another way of doing this without a drill bit. I already cheated by putting tri-stock on my leading edge which worked great.
Looking for a tip/trick.
Thanks
