<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’ve been talking about various control horn mounting
techniques with a few people, and have a question for the list. In the past,
I’ve always used the Balsa block/dowel hard point/screw/MK horn for
control linkages. More recently, I’ve seen the technique for inserting a
ply plate in/under the skin of the surface, and simply screwing in to this with
a horn. I prefer this technique, but I’ve seen it only on electric build
threads so far – strong enough for glow too?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Also – Hobby King sells some nice carbon fiber control
horns for a very reasonable price. These horns, however, are of the variety
that simply glue into a slot cut into a balsa block. In the Integral, as an
example, this is used successfully, but a question has been raised as to
whether this works because it is a hard fiberglass skin, or whether it would be
just as strong in the case of a balsa/foam wing with a hard-point of balsa
inserted at the mounting point. To take it a step further, would it be strong
enough in a built-up framed surface, with a block mounted under the covering as
the attachment?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Finally – is there a good source for aluminum horns? I
really like the Hyde ones, but it seems they are not available any more? Is
anyone carrying the CA Models horns (Checked F3A Unlimited, but didn’t
see them).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
