ELEVATOR CONTROL HORNS
 Always scuff the gluing surfaces, and clean the clevis hole with a sharp 1/16” drill prior to installation.
 Use the base of the carbon fiber control horn to set the depth of a 1/16” carbide cutter. Cut the slot
for the control horn as indicated by the pen mark.
 Use a Perma-Grit flat file to adjust and fine-tune the control horn slot.
 The trailing edge of the elevator horn is designed to be 1.5”
from the trailing edge of the elevator. Make sure the horn
flange sits flat on the skin surface.
 Once the fit and alignment of the control horn is established, place masking tape around the
perimeter of the slot; leaving a 1/16” gap on the sides to allow for a fillet of AeroPoxy.
 Apply AeroPoxy into the slot and the holes on the base of the of the control horn. Push the scuffed
control horn into the surface, and wipe the excess glue away leaving a small fillet.
