a. Cut a 1/8" x 1-1/8" slot in the
fuselage to pass the rudder
pushrod.
b. The picture shows a Goldberg
small pushrod exit guide being
used to line the slot. However, the
slot can be coated with epoxy

will not be necessary.

The control horns should be installed before covering, then removed until the
covering is completed. Models with silk and dope covering have a hard enough
"shell" on the wood so that plywood reinforcement of the control horn area has not
been found necessary. Other types of covering call for reinforcement by insetting
a scrap plywood "scab" into the surface on the opposite side from the horn. This
will keep the horn from pulling out of the wood when subjected to unusual strain.

The elevator pushrod exits through the opening in the fuselage rear end. Take
note that the elevator horn mounting holes are not centered on the elevator, but
must be offset to the side slightly to have the horn arm in the center.
