Does anyone know where I can find a pull-pull rudder arrangement for a sailboat rudder. I can jury-rig on by mounting two control horns on the rudder shaft 180 degrees from each other, but I'd rather find one with arms going out in both directions.

Hey Bruce
Most hobby shops that cater to the RC crowd will carry replacement servo horns , for each major brand . and those usually
contain various types - including double horn arms.........

Allan,
I used the wrong word when I said "control horn". I should have said "steering arm"-the one with a set screw that goes on the rudder shaft. A pull-pull system would be both lighter and stronger than a solid rod from the servo to the steering arm. The attached picture is from a model airplane, but the idea is the same. The wires would go from the servo arms to each end of the steering arm (if it had two arms).

Islander51, that is EXACTLY what I need. However I am in the US, and I'm trying to figure out how to order from that site. Do you know if they have an online store or whether you have to just email them to order?

Here's their shop: http://www.sailsetc.com/shop.htm

You can get one sent from Brian Bozek @ midwestmodelyachting.com. It's about 5 bucks or so.

Thanks all. I finally came across that Midwest modelling site late last night. Looks like a great place to get all the little goodies for building/repair. Got it in my favorites list.
