Looking for the above for my new FB T33, must be of the highest quality, also looking for carbon fibre control horns as I intend to use double horns with the link captured between them, if anyone can provide links or manufacturers I would be gratefull.

Thanks

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.

Marc,
I've used their stuff quite a bit too. Nice to see they now offer payment with PayPal. That was the toughest part, trying to pay for items, in the past. I hade to send via western union which was a royal pain.

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

Another source I have used is:

http://shop.lindinger.at/index.php?cPath=1730_1736

They carry a lot of the Gabriel product as well as items like this in various sizes:

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.
