If you have flown rc with Tex Gehman you will have heards his Texism's, The "Man on a Galloping Horse at 10 feet" is one of them, meanings a that no one will see your elevator horn in flight as they appreciate your spirited Spitfire performance so why do a poor control horn installation just to hide it, unless its a static only model. I hope to add more Texism's galloping horse posts in the future!

RC Spitfire Elevator Horn - a Texism .. Man on a Galloping Horse
1/5 Brian Taylor Spitfire Horn - I saw this post on a Spitfire build - the elevator horn. I would not do this on my warbirds. Those threaded M3 bolts being used are liable to crack after a while. I prefer the Top Flite method shown, individual servo and horn per control surface for redundancy plus with the horn on the outside you can see and inspect the horn and linkage.

In 1960, I began aeromodelling at the age of 6 and that led to a lifetime of aviation reading and research for aeromodelling subjects with a strong interest in warbirds and unique aviation personalities. I've been fortunate to be attend EAA Airventure Oshkosh many times, Gathering of Legends at Duxford UK, in 2015, the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in 2007 as well as many other aviation events. A highlight was a demo ride with the late Bob Hoover in the Shrike Commander at the 1984 Maple Leaf International Airshow at Gimli, Manitoba. Now retired from full time work, I do aeromodelling and aviation research full time when not visiting my two grandsons, Lennox and Edison! I'm also on Facebook as Kpk Warbirds.
