These photos show small plywood discs recessed into the control surfaces to act as mounting points for the control horns (these are on both sides of the control surface). Raw foam is never good for mounting control horns as they will come loose at some point. The first photo also shows how I used dual elevator servos recessed into the stabilizer and then covered the servos with thin carbon sheet to tidy things up and reinforce the area where the foam was removed.build Quadplane Hybrid Drone

Arguably, the mods described in this step are not necessary for this aircraft, however, when lifting expensive cameras and flying near people and property, the last thing one needs is a control linkage or servo failure.
