Drilled Control Horns

Tonight Dad and I tackled the job of drilling the control horns to the center bearing assembly. We accomplished this by using a brass tube that had an inside diameter of 3/16" and an outside diameter of 1/4". We put the tube in our drill motor and ran it with some sandpaper around it until it fit perfectly inside the bearing and then it created a perfect guide for our drill.We used a 3/16" drill initially to drill the holes and we finished them with a 1/4". Once both control horns were drilled we put both elevators back on and the bolt slipped right through! It couldn't have turned out any nicer, and we're happy with our results. Time to order the wing kit soon!
