Mike, its not clear to me in the photo but on the elevator control horns, did you drill one hole for both the control line and bracing line to pass through, or are there two holes?
Excellent detailing, BTW.
Hi Ken,
The actual control horns for the elevator had two cable attachments.
The cables from the fuselage were attached to the top of the control horns.
The cables from the horns and through the elevator were attached to the rear of the control horns, but part way down the rear edge.
However, I've found that drilling a hole through the control horns for attaching the rear cables tends to weaken the plastic and can cause the horns to distort or break when the lines are tensioned.
Instead I drill just the one hole at the top of the control horns and attach both cables to it.
As the rear cables are angled downwards, it still gives the impression that the line is attached farther down the rear of the control horn than it actually is,
Mike
