Dear Bob,

To put the CA on the horns, I use a toothpick hewed as a needle (see below). *With these wood needle, I've a better control than with a regular *(metal) needle. *To make them, I use a grinding wheel mounted on a drill.

To glue the rigging line on the horns or at the ending point, I use a fine tweezers and hold the line very near the horn. *These job require just a steady hand *;D and a very fast CA.

Usually, I bore holes not perpendicular to the fuselage or the wings, but at an angle in alignment with the future line. *To made these job without the drill bit slip, I made a pre-hole with a sharp needle and use only hand drill bit.

You can see the result below or on my site.

FWIW, HTH, ...

Best regards from Belgium
