Technical Performance
The FMS 80MM RAFALE CONTROL HORNS represent quality engineering in RC plane component manufacturing. Control horns serve as the critical mechanical interface between your servo motor and the physical control surfaces of your aircraft, translating electronic servo commands into physical movement of elevators, rudders, ailerons and other flight control surfaces. The 80mm dimension is optimised for the Rafale airframe, providing the correct lever arm ratio to balance control authority with servo load. These horns are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure minimal slop in the linkage system, which directly translates to improved flight handling characteristics and more precise control response during flight. The precision engineering ensures smooth operation across the full range of servo travel, whether you're flying gentle, relaxed circuits or performing more aggressive manoeuvres with your RC aeroplane. By using quality control horns like the FMSEG116, you maintain the integrity of your aircraft's control system and ensure that your servo investment is properly utilised. The horns are designed to work seamlessly with standard servo spline formats used across the RC model aircraft hobby in the UK and worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these control horns compatible with other RC plane models besides the Rafale? — These horns are specifically designed for the FMS Rafale model and sized at 80mm for optimal performance with that airframe. While you may be able to use them on other aircraft with compatible servo systems, they are engineered primarily for Rafale compatibility.
- What do control horns do in an RC plane? — Control horns connect your servos to the control surfaces of your aircraft, such as the elevator, rudder and ailerons. When your servos move, the control horns transfer that motion to the control surfaces, allowing you to steer and control your RC plane during flight. Quality control horns like these ensure smooth, responsive control with minimal play.
- Do I need to replace my control horns? — If your current horns are cracked, bent, loose or showing signs of wear, replacement is recommended to maintain precise control response. Additionally, if you're upgrading your servo system or rebuilding your aircraft, new control horns ensure optimal fit and performance.
- How difficult is it to install these control horns? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC aircraft maintenance experience. You'll need to remove the old horns from your servo spline, then slide the new ones on and secure them in the correct position using the set screw. No special tools are required beyond standard RC model aircraft tools.
- What servo spline format do these use? — These horns are designed to fit standard servo spline formats commonly used across RC aircraft servos. Ensure your servos use the same spline system before purchasing, though most modern RC aircraft servos are compatible with standard formats.
