Default Control Horns for 30% recommend


Can anybody suggest a set of quality control horns for my 30% YAK.

The included hardware in an ARF that I just purchased looks kinda hokey and I would like to upgrade to a DU-BRO 867 type set-up. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

****

You can also buy the horns used on the Extremeflight planes by calling Extremeflight. A complete set is around $20 IIRC. They are actually glued into the structure instead of screwed to the surface.

The recommendations above are all very good.

I would add that Aeroworks also sells separately the dual metal control horns used in their ARFs and they are quite good.

Finally, if you have a vertical drill press, the Dubro HD horns are still a very good option, providing you can drill very precise holes.

if you want maxed out movement buy the smaller ones, i ordered the large horns, and used the largest servo arms i had and i wasn't happy with the amount of movement.... i ended up modifying them with some CF scrap i had and shortened them down a 1/4 inch
