PT Model Type 2 Composite Control Horn – 1.5" Fiberglass (5 Pack)

The PT Model Type 2 Composite Control Horn features a smooth curved profile designed to improve linkage alignment and reduce stress on control systems. This fiberglass control horn is ideal for RC airplane builders looking for clean geometry and consistent control surface response.

With a 1.5" height and 1.5" base width, the Type 2 horn provides balanced leverage while maintaining a lightweight, low-profile installation. Each package includes 5 composite control horns.

Best For: Smooth linkage setups, sport aircraft, pattern planes, and installations where a straight pushrod path is desired.

Key Features

  • Curved Type 2 design for improved linkage alignment
  • Fiberglass composite construction – lightweight and rigid
  • 1.5" height for effective control geometry
  • 1.5" base width for stable mounting
  • Reduces binding compared to flat control horns
  • Clean, low-profile installation
  • 5 control horns per pack

The curved horn profile allows the pushrod to follow a more natural path, reducing binding and improving linkage efficiency.

Installation Guide

  1. Mark horn position: Align linkage hole with hinge line
  2. Check geometry: Ensure pushrod runs straight
  3. Prepare surface: Lightly sand bonding area
  4. Test fit: Confirm proper alignment
  5. Glue: Use epoxy for secure installation
  6. Install linkage: Attach pushrod or ball link
  7. Test movement: Verify smooth operation
Modeler’s Tip: Type 2 curved horns are ideal when your linkage isn’t perfectly straight. The natural arc helps reduce stress and improves overall control feel.

Package Includes

  • 5 × PT Model Type 2 composite control horns

Required to Complete

  • Epoxy adhesive
  • Pushrods / clevis / ball links
  • Basic hobby tools

Control Horn Type Guide (Type 1 vs Type 2 vs Type 3)

Choosing the correct control horn style helps improve linkage geometry, reduce binding, and ensure smooth, precise control surface movement.

Type Shape Best Use When to Choose
Type 1 Flat / Straight Basic linkage setups Use when your servo and control surface are already well aligned. Best for simple, straight pushrod installations.
Type 2 Curved / Swept Smooth linkage geometry Use when your pushrod is slightly off-angle. The curved shape helps reduce binding and allows smoother control movement.
Type 3 Stepped / Offset Offset linkage setups Use when you need to shift the linkage position. Ideal for tight installs, scale builds, or when the servo and surface are not in line.
Quick Selection Tip:

• Straight setup → Type 1
• Slight angle → Type 2
• Offset / tight geometry → Type 3
