[NSRCA-discussion] control horns

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Scott,
On a foam sheeted wing do you think a balsa block should be buried under the skins for the slot?

Your ball link connection doesn't look like it uses the conical standoff.  Do you have a detail shot of this?  I'm concerned with wear on a CF/wood sandwich and am curious how you solved this.

Thanks,
--Lance

  I've used 3/32 aircraft ply laminated with CF epoxied into a 1/8" slot.  Shape as needed to get it over the hinge line.

    cause that was back on the Jekyll and the wing was only 3/4" thick. It was easy to get it centered on the hinge line. I think the new wing thickness is double that so I might need a bit more reach forward.

            If a bolt and aileron horn works well, why change it?

            Hi all,

            What are you guys using for control horns on your planes? Last things I used
            were a 6/32 bolt and "aileron horns" with a clevis. Is that still the way to
            do it or is there something better. Not interested in the MK BB stuff, too
            "good" for me.

            Thanks,
            Jason
