this is by far the best explanation for control linkage geometry i have heard someone who knows their stuff will always explain things more simply than an armature pretending to be smart
@@Stryxxxx Don't make fun of him, he may not have the dollar fifty to buy a professional made one. Although when the drilled hole wears and he loses a plane to flutter, that would cost hundreds of control horns!!!
HAHA I can tell Josh B paint for a living, My fingers look the same right now :). Great tip, keep em coming. Thanks to Josh S for the large easy to see bends! Jon
Perhaps a word about a heat shrink linkage for foamies using carbon rod? Probably one of the simplest and slop free linkages available using no special hardware.
I just received my Flight test/HK 'No you cannot fly this plane' T-shirt today, and ironically it was added to my first RC car order, the beetle, the exact same as the one in the background of this video, I got it to do some FPV when the winds are too high for flying and some night driving ;-)
@flitetest Do you guys have a review on the F-86 Sabre in the intro? I have looked but can never find it. It's also in the differential video as an animation.
Do u know why they have the stryker 180 is set up for maximum throws out of the box and why they recommend u start of like that in the manual. It flys great but Im confused why would factory settings be set up for extreme acrobatics.
Hey I have a question. I bought a plane and started building it but I wore out the screw head for the control horns so instead of screwing the control horns in can I just use glue? My plane is a P51 by FMS.
i need help figuring out how to hook the servos to the receiver. this is my first time trying to build something an i own 3d printers so ive printed all the parts an i just built a simple foam board plane not really that interested in seeing this fly but trying to get everything on something an working like it should then im going to go an either print a full plane or a mixture of printed an foam parts. the foam board i have to work with is 5mm thick so not the thickest stuff and for the electronics i have cheap 30amp esc from amazon and a 2200kv brushless motor an the atm a total of 6 sg90 servos. the transmitter an receiver are also cheap from amazon but had good reviews so i tried it, but its the flysky fs-i6x. ive never had the oppertunity to be around rc planes so i have no knownledge what so ever of how they are suppose to work as far as how the controls on the controller are suppose to work, ive had the motor work with the left throttle stick an ive gotten a servo to work for each direction of the right stick, but my confusion is when u pull back on the right stick i imagined both elevators being pulled up to make the plane climb but with what im working with when pulling the right stick back only one servo moves so im not sure if im suppose to make both flaps work together an at different times with it being an intuitive feel on the controller, i can do it right not but it takes me pushing the right stick up an to the right to get both sides to do the same thing. i hope im explaining this in a way ppl understands. i know i got something wrong an ive not been able to find alot of info on building something from scratch, its always kits an they never really go through how to connect the servos to the receiver so they work correctly the transmitter
You guys haven't reviewed a Hobby King plane in a while. If you do another HK review, please fly the large Mosquito. I've been thinking about buying that one. Thanks.
I want to change the control rod position on my little umx champ - those little horns are delicate and stuck in foam that could easily be damaged- so do you use the pliers to bend the rod or to bend the plastic horn ? or both ?
Its 4 months later and I could not get help with the subject -- so by experience - what is working for me is to use my fingers and bend the horn a little with my fingers and at the same time bend the control rod a little - being patient and keep working at it and so far - it goes in sooner or later - nothing broken or damaged as of now most recent accomplishment was to replace a broken control rod getting the rod out of the hole on the servo on the computer board was hard for me - I'm sure it gets easier with experience
You forgot about the hole in the horn for the control wire...the control wire should be a snug fit in the hole. Do not drill an oversized hole for the control wire.

Popsicle sticks work awesome for control horns as well. Awesome video guys!
I learnt so much from this channel and video, thanks!
@tbvdb The Link is in the description.
I just cut a small popsicle stick at an angle near the end and drill a hole and it works great
Yeah popsical sticks would work graet

@@richardstaccone1927 How can you tell he’s joking? Jesus himself wouldn’t make things overly complicated right?
Answered my micro control horn questions, thank you guys!
didn't knew the 2nd Z bend before so thanks for that, really easy for some of my planes!
Nice guys, keep coming the good info, you both are kindly people!

I'm not sure about what make/model of RC plane it is, but the fuselage appears to be that of a model of an F-86 Sabre.
thanks you guys for watching :D 5:20
I'm subscribed but your videos don't seem to come up under my subscriptions of new videos. I only really get the notification through FB!
I love these two guys

Could you do some plans on how to make them?

Would you recommend these plastic long control horns on something like the famout FT Mini Arrow?
You guys haven't reviewed a Hobby King plane in a while. If you do another HK review, please fly the large Mosquito. I've been thinking about buying that one. Thanks.
What is the name of that foam in 1:01 and were I can find it
Adams Readi Board Foam Board. Dollar Tree, hobby shops, and FliteTest.com store.
Can you post a link to buy the horns?
I want to change the control rod position on my little umx champ -
those little horns are delicate and stuck in foam that could easily be damaged-
so do you use the pliers to bend the rod or to bend the plastic horn ?
or both ?
I feel you, they bend so easily. If you find a good solution would you mind sharing with me? I'll do same if I run across anything,
Its 4 months later and I could not get help with the subject --
so by experience - what is working for me is to use my fingers
and bend the horn a little with my fingers and at the same time bend the control rod a little -
being patient and keep working at it
and so far - it goes in sooner or later -
nothing broken or damaged as of now
most recent accomplishment was to replace a broken control rod
getting the rod out of the hole on the servo on the computer board was hard for me - I'm sure it gets easier with experience
Great tips that plastic horn always alignment problems
ONE OF MY CONTROL HORNS BROKE OFF.
how can i take off the stabilizer without breaking the thin foam where it's attached

Good info, but you need to drop the “comic sidekick” routine!
good video !!!
Will you be doing a funbat tutorial how to build at anypoint ??????????????????
Good tip guy's...Thanks....
Is Josh B a mechanic, he has mechanic hands. Good info guys.
If someone is looking to buy what Josh called a "thumb drill" go to amazon.com (or wherever) and search "pin vise" - that's what its really called :)
Is this cuten with laser?
thanks this vid helped a lot!
YOU HAVE TO DO A REIVEW ON THE HK HOVERJET IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!
ok whos copying who with the videos? flitetest or rctestflight
@chiavernwei some control horns dont even have backs i would just either take a chance and glue it or go spend 2 dollars on new ones :)
Ground roots flight test....you just can't beat it.........so much better than today's rubbish
9 years later. Wow
4:28 lol
I died at the end.
@BMSWEB Same!
what hot glue gun do you use
+Chuck Niemiec They usually use the Adtech glue guns. But for this application tou can pretty much use any gluegun/ glue stick
The Josh B "basically" count for this video is 8 in 6 minutes!
You forgot about the hole in the horn for the control wire...the control wire should be a snug fit in the hole. Do not drill an oversized hole for the control wire.
nice idea
The f-86 Sabeare
Watch this at 1.25X trust me!
what is the reall job of josh blixer? i see his hands are allways black
Thanks, I got metal ones tougher
@Eddy Jin No one cares about your comment Eddy
I miss the old intro too much
ha, the huge push rods.
Pin vise. You need that in your terminology.
+James Bach Thanks man! I was searching for this for way too long! :D

Hi i cant rite in inglish, sol im sory. i just have 3 things to say
1 say more abaut the lay the plane flys, what tho you notes from the normal prop planes lith props what to luc aut fore wen flying and what to du and what not to do wen flying this plane
2 make a fpv set up the chepest way to go into it what to luc aut fore what to bay and what to luc aut for
3 make more videos abaut how to make the planes more stabel faster slower and HOW TO THISAN A PLANE FOR MISELF AND TO PIC A MOTOR
what is the purpose of the annoying drum machine
You guy could use some nail cutter. :)
What happened to your nails?
Good and informative videos BUT please leave out the lame attempt at comedy.
