Step1 Elevator Assembly

This plane comes with an off yellow composite control horns. I decided to spend a little extra time time prep and paint the horns to match the plane. A very unnecessary process, but I was happy with the final product.
I first sanded all of the horns and plates, then I used some rubbing alcohol to clean them off and make sure there was no dust left on them.
I then found some paint that was close and gave them several coats over the course of a few hours. Once both sides were finished I decided to add a little bit of clear coat to help protect them.
The final product was a pretty close match to the silver strip on this color schem

The control horns are pretty easy to install, the longest part is when the epoxy is drying.
First you need to remove the covering that covers the slots where the control horn will attach. You can trace the square mounting plate so that no wood will be exposed and you will have maximum bonding surface.
Then you need to trial fit the control horn to make sure everything fits and lines up. Everything was fine on this model so I moved to mixing up some 30 min epoxy. The instructions suggest you use some milled fiberglass, you can pick some up at any hobby shop or just finely cut some spare cloth you have. I used a toothpick to make sure I coated the entire bonding surface.
Install the control horn, wipe away any excess epoxy with some rubbing alcohol and let dry for 30 mins.
