Gator RC 26mm CNC Aluminum Control Horn w/ Bearing Clevis

Upgrade your RC airplane linkage system with this CNC-machined aluminum control horn with integrated bearing clevis from Gator RC. Designed to eliminate binding and reduce servo load, this system provides smoother, more consistent control—especially in installations where pushrod alignment is not perfect.

Key Features

  • Integrated Bearing Clevis: Allows free movement and eliminates binding under load
  • CNC Aluminum Construction: Strong, lightweight, and precise
  • Low-Friction Linkage: Reduces servo strain and improves control accuracy
  • Versatile Fitment: Compatible with 2mm–3mm pushrods (can be drilled larger)
  • Compact Size: Ideal for small to mid-size RC aircraft

Specifications

  • Overall Dimensions: 25mm × 28mm × 26mm (Height)
  • Weight: 4g
  • Material: CNC Aluminum
  • Clevis Thread Size: 2-56 / 2mm
  • Max Pushrod Size: Up to 3mm (drillable)
  • Clevis Hole Diameter: 1.8mm
  • Bearing Bolt Size: 2mm
  • Mounting Base Bevel: Approx. 6mm

What’s Included

  • 1 × CNC Aluminum Control Horn (26mm)
  • 1 × Bearing Clevis Assembly (with pre-installed bearing)
  • 1 × Bearing Bolt (2mm)
  • 3 × Mounting Screws (wood screws)

Required to Complete

  • Pushrod linkage (2mm typical)
  • Servo arm compatible with your setup
  • Mounting backplate or reinforcement (airframe dependent)

Best For

  • Electric RC airplanes and park flyers
  • Elevator and rudder linkages
  • Installations with angled pushrods
  • Builders looking to eliminate linkage binding

Geometry & Fitment Notes

  • Designed for proper hinge-line alignment to maintain consistent control throw
  • Bearing position allows smooth articulation even with imperfect linkage angles
  • Helps prevent servo strain caused by misalignment or flex

Why Use a Bearing Clevis?

Unlike standard clevis setups, the integrated bearing allows the linkage to pivot freely—even when the pushrod is slightly off-angle. This reduces friction, prevents binding, and improves long-term reliability and control consistency.

Installation Notes

  • Align horn pivot point with hinge line for proper geometry
  • Use threadlock on metal hardware to prevent loosening
  • Ensure mounting surface is reinforced for high-load applications
Modeler’s Tip: If your pushrod angle changes through travel, a bearing clevis setup like this dramatically reduces binding and improves servo life compared to standard clevis connections.
