Broken wing pivot

The wing pivot didn't break, the plastic horn broke, and the attachment to cabane struts also broke.

The wire in the ez-connector allows length adjustment of the pull lines. Because the pull line is in " \/-\/ " fashion, with the "-" being hooked to reduce the two "\/", very fine adjustment can be made, every unit length at the hook equals 1/4 to the wing displacement, approximately.

Repair:
The plastic horn has been replaced without the pvc cabane attachment. I am relying on superglue, but maybe I will wrap some thread around to secure.
