I am about to embark on my first pull-pull system.

The problem I have is that the leading edge of the rudder is rounded and
3/8" thick - so I have to go 3/8" before I can fasten the control horns on.

I have seen photos of planes with offset control horns. They look
something like a "C". Where can I buy them ?

Thanks

Ted,

Get the horns that have a screw right through the rudder with a plate on
either side. They have a long threaded horn that can be moved up or down the
screw. Some of them (Dubro 866) are quiet long and extend far enough to line
up with the hinge.

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not
so great) words of knowledge:
