Peter I recently kitted out two kits with this guys servo arms, horns, linkages etc and have to say they are superb. Made from a high temperature pressure injected carbon filled abs they are unbelievably hard, the servo arms a clever as the ends branch into two so the ball link sits centrally in the end so forces are spread evenly, the horns are the same and as they have a wide base plate and robart style pins they are really simple to install as you only have to drill two holes rather than try to neatly cut a slot.
He has just introduced control rods which are carbon tubes with a special end which are glued in place and these look super as well.
If you want some pictures I can dig out the thread here on RCU where I installed them on my Orion jet.
Highly recommended, any issue is the site is all in German but you can work your way round it with a little patience
Good luck with your project.

BVM has a range of CF horns as well as loads of other gear. http://shopbvmjets.com/zencart/index...1krhfb6d6ugok4
A bit closed to home, try Pete at Intairco. He also has quite a bit of gear not listed on his site. It is all very good quality. I suggest you call him. http://www.intairco.net/categories.p...ontrol-Linkage

I am not at by desktop at the moment, but be assured carbon horns are available in Germany, I will look up the link when I get back to the UK and post it for you, the alternative is you can always make your own.
