I know you said you didn't want to show how to install the control horn but it is worth mentioning that the horn is always inserted on the open side of the hinge and the open side of the hinge is opposite to the throwing peg side. So if you have a non symmetrical fin , (your demonstration fus had this I think) then the top side of the fin airfoil has the open side of the hinge. A quick and easy way to think of it (for me anyway) is that if you are a right-handed thrower, then the spring pulls left rudder and the string pulls right rudder. That is usually how it is done isn't it?
yes I may be should have say it . but it's the bottom of the airfoil it's on the open hinge side ;) yes the rudder need to be pulled to the right and released to the left .
Nick Sutton it s not possible . the flat side is the "bottom " of the airfoil . on snipe the rudder is asymetric and the open side is on the left if you are right handed
Nice Pierre, I just got interested in DLGs and found your videos and you're awesome. I got a HK mini DLG for starter and hopefully something better in the future, so lot of your videos are really helpful. Also, can this method be used on elevator too?
Thanks for that Pierre, very informative. Now off to the shed and my DLG to install it.
Nicely done Pierre!

Ah I see! That's interesting to know. I have Blaster and Snipe and they have the top of airfoil as the open hinge side.

I don't think vladimir did a mistake . the side where the kevlar hinge is on the convexe side normaly , is it good for yours ?
Oh I'm sorry you are correct. How stupid of me. This is what happens when you watch You tube late at night, ha ha! Thanks for putting me straight.

thank you ! yes you can do this on elevator and rudder ;)
I believe the tube is blue, thanks again
0:53 You said "I don't know the specific words..." Well I call them long nose pliers and sometimes they are also called needle nose pliers.
That's so cool!
Get stuff. How to is the best. When doing first build and want it right :)
Love ur vids.
Also you be good to show how you secure with wire with crimps. And how to set the length.
Thanks!!!
Hi, I'm enjoying this. Could U explain where U got the push rod tube that U use??? Thanks so much!!! Harry
Hi Harry , you can find it on Hyperflight website I beleave
