They are actually just pulled real tight. The manual says to secure with clear tape once final. They feed threw the upper strut hole and once the strut is attached and tightened, they wont move. I'm still thinking about how to hide them, maybe black electrical tape and some small tie wraps, not sure yet.

I used heat shrink on mine to clean them up a little.
Have you flown yours yet? Mine had a NASTY snap to the right tendency on a really hard up elevator, bad enough that I found a new home for it with the quickness. Very attractive on the ground, and an attention whore, but I didn't like it in the sky. Very hard for me to see against the green tree line that is on 3 sides of our field.

I thought about the heat shrink or a black snakeskin wrap, something of that nature.
As for the nasty snap, might be because it only has one elevator servo and the elevator halves joined makes one weaker. One side might have not been able to keep up with the hard elevator therefor doing a snap. Haven't flown it yet, I'm posting as I build it. Hopefully next week it will be done and ready to maiden.

Ok, I got a little more done in the last few nights.
Finished up the aileron servo trays.
I use the screw to mark the hole then removes servo and drill. Don't try to make the hole with the screw, the block will crack.
Then tap the screw into the hole.
Remove screw and flow a little thin CA into the hole to strengthen it.

Installed servos into the wings.
Horizon puts these nice little pull strings into the wings to make this super easy.
Pull the wire threw....
Made up the 4 control rods, all the exact same length.
Control rod hardware.
Screws for mounting servo tray.
Done.....
Plenty of throw !!!

Next I epoxied in the wing strut mounts for the wing struts.
There is a upper wing mount and a lower wing mount, make sure you pay attention here. I marked them with a red pin once I figured them out.
The struts only install one way, make sure you get this right when checking the alignment.
Kit comes with these retaining pins for holding them in place. I couldn't get them to go all the way in just yet, but I'm sure they will loosen up after a few times inserting them.
