End result with tail skid and rigging installed. The tail skid had its own control cables. This is part of the reason why I added thee control cables to each side of the rudder bar

Starting on the double-looping to the forward portion of the control horn.

Added a small patch of Solartex covering and then made a small hole and super-glued the end.

Thread is double looped back into the bead. That's challenging for the eyes and hands.

Added wiring for the rigging yet to come. Threading the control horn. Notice the small bead on the thread.

Used glossy paper to build the base for the control horns.

In my last posting, I believe I mentioned I'll be working on the tail feathers. Here, I am fabricating the control horns. I thought I would give it a bit of "bling" by adding eyeball-straining tiny brass colored beads as bushing. I purposely had my thumb in the picture for scale. Notice the itsy bitsy tiny bead. Ouch!

End result. The cap was a small circular piece of brass that was punched out and glued on top of a small ring to give it depth. Not bad, eh?

The Vintage Aviator revealed that only on the left side was the turnbuckle. Like the small turnbuckles used in the cockpit area, I cut small sections out of .006" brass tubing and used small really tiny beads. To thread them back over themselves was a challenge.
