Robart control horns
Hi , I need to replace the standard control horns on my F20 propjet. the stock items dont hold up, as a friend who has one, found out the hard way on his fourth flight. I think these look sturdy enough but I am wondering about the tenacity of the ball link and weather these are suitable for speed applications if anyone has used these I'd appreciate any input .
thanks
thanks

Well, I sure hope they hold up.... I'm putting quite a bit of confidence in them !!! Seriously, the Robart horns you pictured will be fine on the F-20. Just make sure that where the horns are mounted has a hardened mounting platform. If mounted straight to balsa, harden the surface by wicking thin CA into the balsa first.

RE: Robart control horns
thanks CB, , well checking out the Robart website and seeing that many products are turbine orientated, I'd gather that they will be more than ample for my propjet..turbines are just so cool....thanks for the input
oh yeah and I'll surely take up the advise of hardening the balsa!!!!
