20030729 - spiritelite - 12 - horninstalled2
Another view. I tried to get the horn as close to the hinge line as possible. Though, note that the rudder hinge here is at an angle. This it going make things interesting, as when the rudder is...

20030729 - spiritelite - 11 - horninstalled
The installed horn. I glued it in there with some Zap-A-Gap Thick CA as there was a little too much vertical space. I also wicked some thin CA into the horn arms to add some durability and strength....

20030729 - spiritelite - 10 - newhornmarked
Sanded to round a bit. Note the markings here. The rudder is 1/4" wide at the hinge, so at 1/8" from center on either side, I drew some lines to aid in centering the horn. I also drew a line that...

20030729 - spiritelite - 02 - originalhorn2
This is my original horn. 1" wide, the center of the V was exactly 1/2" deep. However, this horn proved to be to acute, and would certainly have binded. The 90-degree angle is no good. I suggest you...
