Key Features

• 80mm Length — The 80mm dimension provides optimal throw and control resolution for a wide variety of RC aircraft models, ensuring you achieve the precise servo throw ratios needed for stable, responsive flight control without excessive mechanical advantage that could cause oversteer or instability.
• Integral Design — This control horn features an integral construction, meaning it is engineered as a single precision-machined component rather than an assembled unit, which eliminates potential failure points at joints and ensures consistent performance throughout the life of the component.
• Vibrant Red Colour — The distinctive red finish not only makes this control horn visually identifiable on your aircraft, helping during pre-flight inspections and troubleshooting, but also provides excellent visibility when checking linkage alignment and servo centering.
• FMS Quality Engineering — FMS Hobby is a recognised manufacturer of reliable RC aircraft components, and this control horn reflects their commitment to precision manufacturing and consistency, giving you confidence in a component that will perform reliably flight after flight.
• Universal Compatibility — The 80mm integral control horn is designed to work with standard RC servo spline patterns and control linkage systems, making it a practical replacement or upgrade option for many different RC aircraft types and servo configurations.

Technical Performance

The FMS Integral Control Horn represents thoughtful engineering applied to a fundamental component of RC flight control systems. At 80mm in length, this control horn has been sized to deliver optimal mechanical advantage for servo-to-surface actuation, allowing precise control input without requiring excessive servo torque or creating control surface deflection that is disproportionate to pilot input. The integral design means this component is manufactured as a single piece rather than assembled from multiple parts, eliminating potential weak points and ensuring consistent performance. The red colour provides excellent visual contrast against most aircraft fuselages and control surfaces, making it easy to verify proper linkage installation and servo alignment during model setup and maintenance. The control horn works seamlessly with standard RC servo systems common in the UK RC hobby market, making it straightforward to integrate into your existing aircraft or use as a replacement when upgrading control linkage systems. The precision machining typical of FMS components ensures smooth operation and eliminates the binding or friction that can occur with lower-quality control horns, directly contributing to smoother, more responsive flight characteristics. For RC aircraft builders and pilots who understand that quality control components are the foundation of reliable aircraft handling, this integral control horn delivers the precision and durability expected from the FMS brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is an integral control horn and why is it important for my RC aircraft? — An integral control horn is the mechanical connection point between your servo and control surface (such as an aileron, elevator, or rudder). It converts the rotational movement of the servo shaft into linear movement of the control surface, allowing you to control your aircraft's flight surfaces. A quality control horn like this FMS unit is essential because it directly affects how smoothly and precisely your aircraft responds to your stick inputs. A worn or damaged control horn can introduce play into your control system, leading to mushy, unpredictable handling that makes your aircraft difficult to control.
• Is the 80mm size suitable for my RC aircraft? — The 80mm length is a popular standard size that works with many RC aircraft types, from trainers and sport flyers to aerobatic planes. However, the correct control horn size depends on your specific aircraft model and the servo throw you want to achieve. We recommend checking your aircraft's manual or parts list to confirm that 80mm is the correct size for your model before ordering.
• What aircraft models is this compatible with? — The FMS Integral Control Horn is designed to work with standard RC servo spline patterns and is suitable for use on any RC aircraft that requires an 80mm control horn. This includes many FMS aircraft models and numerous other RC aeroplanes that use industry-standard servo connections and control linkage systems. Check your aircraft documentation to verify compatibility with your specific model.
• How do I install this control horn on my aircraft? — Installation involves removing your existing control horn (if replacing) and sliding the new horn onto your servo shaft, then securing it with the appropriate servo horn screw. You will then connect your pushrod or control linkage to the hole in the control horn, ensuring proper alignment with your control surface. Refer to your aircraft's assembly instructions for detailed installation guidance specific to your model.
• Is this control horn durable? — Yes, the integral design and FMS manufacturing quality ensure this control horn is built to withstand the stresses of regular flying. The single-piece construction eliminates weak points that can develop at joint lines, and the precision machining ensures smooth operation. Proper installation and regular inspection will ensure long service life.
