Default Tom...control horns with hardware pack question.

I just wanted to start off by saying thanks. My edge arrived yesterday and was unscathed by UPS Awesome plane !!! The question is in regards to the control horn assemblies. Theres no mention on the instruction page, and no parts found regarding the part of the horn that has the somewhat conical shape or of some variation. This would be the part on the horn side of the control surface that would squeeze against the surface itself. The rest of that hardware looks like Dubro. Are these parts supposed to be with it. I'm just not accustomed to seeing these types of horns without something squeezing up against the buttom side of the surface. I may be wrong in assuming that.

Thanks for your help

Actually, the Wild Hare hardware pack hasn't ever contained the "A" nuts to my recollection. There really isn't a need for them. If you feel uncomfortable about the "bareness" of the shaft, you can add a flat washer and a hex nut to perform the same task.

The load on the horn shafts isn't as much as one may think on these planes, and everything holds up exceptionally well over the long term.

Those "A" nuts that come with Dubro packs are meant for flat surfaces which don't have hard points. On our planes all theyt do is add weight on the tail which you don't need.
