Default RE: How to drill straight for control horns

ORIGINAL: proptop

I also use a pin vise and drill the holes with that...I use a drill one size larger than the 2-56 screw, then (mock-up ) install the horn...then remove screws and harden the holes w/ thin CA.
Another tip is to grind a point on the ends of the screws...helps 'em to get started in the nylon nut plate.
I was actually thinking of getting a pin vise. Excellent tip on grinding the screw points. Thanks for the tips guys! Much appreciated.
