Thanks, all. This feedback give me ideas on how to approach the hinging and control rod hookup on this rudder. I'll let you know how it turns out. --Bill On Mon, 03 Apr 2000 17:48:15 EDT Martin Brungard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ben Diss wrote that he would use fiberglass horns instead of plywood. Fiberglass horns are fine if you have them, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them though. Ben is right about the clevis hole wallowing over time. I have solved that problem by using only metal clevises and hard-coating the clevis hole and plywood surface with thin CA. Of course, its a good idea to have the hole ID match the clevis pin OD. The hardened ply is then coated with parafin wax and melted on with a heat gun or blow dryer, using care to keep the wax away from the gluing surface. Assemble everything and go fly. When the hole gets some slop, just apply a drop of thin CA to the attachment and the glue wicks into the assembly. It takes up the slop. Because the wax was applied to the ply, the CA will not bond well to the ply or metal clevis. The clevis will break free from the horn with a little effort and the slop is gone.
