Go Devil Elevator horn breakage
I have just ended my third year flying Go Devils
in Open B combat. I have noticed that the elevator
control horn is prone to failure and I am not sure
why. I use Du Bro horns in line with the servo and mounted on the
bottom of the elevator. They do take some punishment on
landing but they seem to fail when flying.
Any feedback from other Go Devil users is appreciated.

Dunno who this "I'm Rick James" character is but he started a thread on this very subject in another forum

Parts for Indestructable Control Horns.
Dubro Horn Bracket 4-40 3/32"
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wt ... LXD947&P=M

scraps of leftover pvc pipe cut in 1/2 x 1/2 squares, with 4-40 holes drilled through middle

While the 4-40 bolts will bend, they won't break..

Use the #6x32 socket head screws from Micro and they won't bend or break[:0]
This is the real deal for control horns.[^]

I buy the horns in the packaged kit and prefer the GreatPlanes. Dubro also makes some.
