W23 acro aileron drive horns and W04 regular ones

I was trying to come up with a way to mount the drive horn to the dimensions shown. Came up with this:

It is a piece of scrap with a hole 21/32" from the edge. Nicely sets the distance as shown on the plans.
Trued up the flanges, put two ribs together, and transferred two holes:

Then I clecoed the drive horn between and transferred the remaining holes.

Great tip Brian, used the same sequence this weekend when I started mine. Just need to upsize, debur and rivet the assemblies.
