Flite Test – Control Horns – FLITE TIP
Flite Test – Control Horns – FLITE TIP This week the Joshes talk about trumpets and fishing? Horns and rods are mentioned but what they’re referring to is control horns, and control rods. Josh Bixler shows a couple different styles of control horns, tips and techniques on how to install them properly, and explains the importance of proper alignment of your horns and rods. Josh Scott contributes this week with a musical accompaniment, as well as an excellent demonstration of a few control rod bend examples. Chad, we have some good news, and some bad news for you. The good news is you don’t have to do dishes tonight… -Fred Provost

Chad, I have sent you a question re the flying cow plans you said you were going to put online, via you tube and via flite test.com multiple times, but you fail to reply. Are you ever going to put a copy of the plans on your web page?
You forgot the ‘Pull-Pull’ control system control horns…..
Hey Chad, you must find a manicure for the Joshsesss man, they realy need handjobs … that did´t sound right…
you know what i mean!
Perhaps a word about a heat shrink linkage for foamies using carbon rod? Probably one of the simplest and slop free linkages available using no special hardware.
You guy could use some nail cutter.

If someone is looking to buy what Josh called a “thumb drill” go to amazon.com (or wherever) and search “pin vise” – that’s what its really called
You guys haven’t reviewed a Hobby King plane in a while. If you do another HK review, please fly the large Mosquito. I’ve been thinking about buying that one. Thanks.
I just received my Flight test/HK ‘No you cannot fly this plane’ T-shirt today, and ironically it was added to my first RC car order, the beetle, the exact same as the one in the background of this video, I got it to do some FPV when the winds are too high for flying and some night driving
Very good tips !!. Thank you. Need more !!!!
didn’t knew the 2nd Z bend before so thanks for that, really easy for some of my planes!
Congrat guys you make a uniqe and high quality job.
