Help? Control Horn Direction - Rebel

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:39 pm

I am in the middle of building the wing (step 84 Chapter 10, page 27).
I think I have the control horn for the flaperons wrong. As you look
down the wing from the tip, should the control horn sweep backward or
forward? In different terms, as you look down the wing from the wing
tip, should the control horn look like a comma (,) or like a opening
quote (`)? Mine sweeps backward like a comma. I have some photos of
the factory demonstrator, but I can't see it well.

Mine sweep backward, like a comma for the right wing.

Scott; if you are talking about the control horn that comes out of the
bottom skin at about the middle of the wing then it should sweep back toward
the flaperons. If you have riveted the horn on backwards then use that
piece on the other wing.

Scott,
it seems we have the same rebel manual ( 07/27/94) so it pays off if you look a
bit forward in the manual at page 10-66 the step 187) you have a good fig. 80
that clears all doubts, in any case the horn sweeps following the wind stream.
