1660.0. "Help-control horns" by NCMAIL::BLUMJ () Wed Apr 05 1995 19:49

    I am at the point of adding aileron control horns to my new tow plane.
    On my other towplane I used the 4-40 threaded studs and they seemed to
    work fine.  I had them in my hand at the hobby shop to use again, when
    I noticed that they said they were for use up to a .60 size plane.
    
    Any suggestions for alternatives, or do you guys think the 4-40 studs
    are O.K.
    
    
    Thanks,
    
    Jim - whose learning alot about large IC planes!

       Jim,
    
          You probably want to check with someone who has built large
      RC aircraft, but my personal opinion is the "Sonic tronic" type
      threaded control horns should work fine. They handle the stress
      on .60 pattern planes that fly close to 100 mph ( not sure if anyone
      is using them on the 1.20 size pattern ships ) , so I don't the
      ailerons on a slow flying tow ship would over stress them.
