Elevator Control Horn Initial Drilling

I didn’t get too much time yesterday but I did go back and tighten up the lock nuts for the elevator threaded rod end bearings that I forgot to do the other day on the elevators. I also found a piece of wood that was exactly the width I needed for between the control horns and drilled the first hole. I need to get the drill press out tonight, drill the block and then drill the control horns together.

I did end up ordering a new caliper as my old one just doesn’t want to work anymore for some reason. And all of it’s dimensions on the slide ruler are in metric. So I had to measure what I needed on a ruler with the caliper and then transfer that to the control horn. Also ignore the mark I made on the control horn that is still there. I had my measurements backwards and when I went to double check my work I noticed I had them switched.
