Hi Ralph,
I have not yet fitted the control horns and linkages to the ailerons it is one of the few jobs left to do, glue aileron hinges and fit control horns and linkage and put decals on the wings and she is ready for first flight. I plan on using 3mm  x 25mm horns and clevises from Hobby King. I will be using 2mm stainless steel pushrods.
The elevator is operated by 2 x HS85 mg servos here I have used Medium sized Kavan plastic horns and again 2mm stainless steel pushrods.
The rudder horn is home made from 2mm Glass sheeting.

Fred
Can you advise as to what the control throws should be?

Looking forward to hopefully maiden the K8 at the weekend

The horns that I am using for the ailerons are similar to the ones that John has recommended, they are listed as 3mm x 50mm
Heavy duty horns.
