 1. Using a felt tip pen mark the aileron for the
aileron control horn. The horn is positioned 13/32-
inch (10mm) back from the hinge line of the
aileron. Also mark a center line that corresponds
with the aileron servo horn.
Use low-tack tape to tape the aileron in position so it
doesn’t move during the linkage installation. This will
make the procedure go easier and will help in keeping
things aligned during the linkage installation process.
 2. Position the control horn so it is aligned with the
marks made in the previous step. Lightly press the
control horn down to leave the indentations of the
prongs in the aileron. The control horn should be
aligned 90 degrees to the aileron hinge line in line
with the servo arm.
 3. Use side cutters to remove 3/32-inch (2mm)
from the prongs of the servo horn so they do not
extend through the top of the aileron when the
control horn is installed.
 4. Use a pin drill and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit
to drill the two holes for the control horn prongs.
Use care not to drill into the aileron too far and
accidentally drill through the top of the aileron.
