Showtime 90 - control horn mounting points
Hi.
just got my showtime here in Aus and i must say this is the most impressive and comprehensive ARF i have seen so far.
My question is relating to the screws that act as control horns in the ailerons and elevators.
The instructions call you to put epoxy in the hole then "push" the screw in then clean up... on my plane, it seems that hardpoints have been installed where the screw locates in and it has to be threaded through. This provides a pretty tough control horn. Has my kit been upgraded? or should i back the screw out an inch, coat the underside with some epoxy and turn it in again.

I did as you suggest in your last sentence. Best not to rely on the 'thread' fit alone.
