PT Model Type 1 Composite Control Horn – Fiberglass (5 Pack)

The PT Model Type 1 Composite Control Horn is a lightweight fiberglass control horn designed for straight, direct linkage setups. This standard geometry horn provides clean pushrod alignment and predictable control surface response, making it ideal for a wide range of RC airplane builds.

Type 1 control horns are best used when the servo and control surface are already aligned, allowing for a simple, efficient linkage with minimal complexity.

Best For: Straight linkage setups where the servo and control surface are properly aligned.

Key Features

  • Straight geometry design for direct, linear pushrod alignment
  • Fiberglass composite construction – lightweight and rigid
  • Clean, low-profile installation
  • Consistent and predictable control response
  • Ideal for sport, pattern, and general RC aircraft builds
  • 5 control horns per pack

For best results, align the linkage hole as close as possible with the hinge line to ensure smooth and efficient control movement.

Installation Guide

  1. Mark horn position: Align the horn with the hinge line
  2. Check alignment: Ensure pushrod runs straight from servo to horn
  3. Prepare surface: Lightly sand bonding area if needed
  4. Test fit: Confirm proper positioning before gluing
  5. Bond securely: Use epoxy for a strong installation
  6. Attach linkage: Install pushrod, clevis, or ball link
  7. Test movement: Verify smooth, bind-free operation
Modeler’s Tip: Use Type 1 control horns when your linkage is already properly aligned. This provides the most direct and efficient control response with minimal setup complexity.

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

Not sure which control horn you need? Use the guide below to choose the correct geometry for your setup.

Type Shape Best Use When to Use
Type 1 Straight Direct linkage setups Servo and control surface are already aligned
Type 2 Curved Smooth linkage angles Pushrod is slightly off-angle
Type 3 Offset / Stepped Alignment correction Servo and surface are not in line
Quick Selection Tip:

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