	I really don't think you need to use 2 horns on the comp-arf control surface. I used ball links on the servo arm (SWB) and stock clevis on the flight surface. Many flights to date with no problems. Simple and easy, with little work involved. It's the one in my avatar (not an sx), but 22.5 lbs and flies sweet

Check this out do yall think it would be ok to use just aluminum horn with ball link instead of two, and SWB arm on the other end. I can't see that it would twist or have a side pull ??????????

I would go with two , I really like mine and I am glad I went with two but to each his own

Tex · 11-17-2007, 10:27 AM

Yea I think I will, allready got them done so 2 it is.

eagle1 · 11-17-2007, 10:38 AM

what are you going to do about roughing up the surface of the aluminum horns?

Tex · 11-17-2007, 11:06 AM

Good question eagle, I can do several things, 1st just use a sharp punch and make a bunch of demples, or I can just use a course grinder or something and/or drill some 1/16 holes and make sure that epoxy gets through the holes.

Tex · 11-17-2007, 11:07 AM

Loctite Hysol 9462 can be bonded to metal surfaces also.

eagle1 · 11-17-2007, 11:47 AM

you think if you made the sides of the horns like a saw tooth pattern would give any bond advantage?
BTW got some pictures of what my 3m 260 will look like AWSOME!!!!

Tex · 11-17-2007, 11:50 AM

It can't hurt, plus the two holes will help the most. Yea pics are cool. only 60 days, 2 long months, what will you do

eagle1 · 11-17-2007, 12:08 PM

Tex · 11-17-2007, 04:04 PM

nice work tex looks good every step completed gets you one step closer to the goal

Tex · 11-17-2007, 04:51 PM

Eagle did you use the whole 30mm stand off ? I think I could go 25mm and still be allright. Then I dont have to get longer bolts.
